YouTube Description
as posted by the channelToday, HENI Talks is presented by Harriet Vyner.
Harriet Vyner gives a snapshot of 1967: the age of Sergeant Pepper, peace protests and birth control. But beneath the excitement lay a conflict between a new youth culture and the old establishment. Richard Hamilton’s Swingeing London 67 depicts an iconic moment in the backlash against popular culture and its figureheads. In the work’s many versions, the art dealer Robert Fraser is shown handcuffed in the back of a police car next to the Rolling Stones’ frontman, Mick Jagger. Vyner tells the story of how a star-studded, drug-fueled party sent an art-world VIP to Wormwood Scrubs prison and asks what else Hamilton’s depiction of this incident has to say about the atmosphere of the times.
