About
Lotta FREAKS!’ – Arlo Guthrie, Woodstock 1969
Products of their time, this private collection curated by E F English, brings together the ‘far out,’ designs used by beatniks, hippies, drop-outs, hangers ons and drug culture that was prevalent and influential to the underground ‘peace & love’ movement of the 60s counter culture that spread into mainstream media and lasted until the arrival of punk in 1974.
