Max Hollein, Director of the Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt: “The Schirn has repeatedly regarded it as its responsibility to highlight artistic and social developments. There have been few movements in the 20th century where art and everyday culture intertwined in such a symbiotic fashion. It is one of the central issues explored by ‘Summer of Love’ how an art that so deliberately evaded the conventional institutional contexts can, from some distance in time, be transferred there.” more culture>>>
