Episode 51: Andy Warhol: The 1960s Scene and the Emergence of Pop
We begin our fourth season with an introduction to the cultural chaos of the mid-1960s. As the Beats began to fade and the Hippies take center stage, changes were happening in both the U.S. and overseas that would set the stage for new forms of art and expression. Warhol found himself in the right place at the right time.
