Reviews"A fast-paced ride" --Christies, Best Art Books 2025 "Nobody in America writes as well about culture and film as J. Hoberman" --Peter Biskind, author of Down and Dirty Pictures and Pandora's Box "The dish, plus the mentions of virtually every downtown address where people lived and worked, gives a vivid sense of the '60s avant-garde as a physically and personally close-knit group and the art they created as a collective enterprise. Minutely detailed descriptions of movies, plays, concerts, and "happenings," from underground classics (the Living Theatre's Paradise Now) to the truly obscure (Barbara Rubin's multimedia event, Caterpillar Changes), also make palpable the period's anything-goes ethos." -- Kirkus Reviews "A striking countercultural history of New York City. [ Everything is Now ] is a thrilling conjuration of a head-spinningly innovative time and place." -- Publishers Weekly, starred review " Everything Is Now is a propulsive account of New York's counterculture in the 1960s. It's all documented by legendary cultural critic J. Hoberman, whose authoritative and evocative writing welcomes readers into the city's exclusive art-world circles as guests rather than outside observers. It makes for a compelling, dishy read that's also deeply researched." -- A.V. Club "Back in the 1960s, New York City was a haven for the avant-garde, whether it was in the shape of subcultural movements like fluxus and guerrilla theater or venues like coffeehouses, bars, and lofts. Hoberman's cultural history is a thorough account of the New York underground, complete with rich, minute details about what the city once was." -- The Millions, "A fast-paced ride" --Christies, Best Art Books 2025 "Nobody in America writes as well about culture and film as J. Hoberman" --Peter Biskind, author of Down and Dirty Pictures and Pandora's Box "The dish, plus the mentions of virtually every downtown address where people lived and worked, gives a vivid sense of the '60s avant-garde as a physically and personally close-knit group and the art they created as a collective enterprise.

SynopsisA groundbreaking cultural history of 1960s New York, from the legendary writer on art and film Like Paris in the 1920s, New York City in the 1960s was a cauldron of avant-garde ferment and artistic innovation. Boundaries were transgressed and new forms created. Drawing on interviews, memoirs, and the alternative press, Everything Is Now chronicles this collective drama as it was played out in coffeehouses, bars, lofts, storefront theaters, and, ultimately, the streets. The principals here are penniless filmmakers, jazz musicians, and performing poets, as well as less classifiable artists. Most were outsiders at the time. They include Amiri Baraka, Bob Dylan, Allen Ginsberg, Yayoi Kusama, Yoko Ono, Nam June Paik, Carolee Schneemann, Jack Smith, Andy Warhol, and many more. Some were associated with specific movements (Avant Rock, Destruction Art, Fluxus, Free Jazz, Guerrilla Theater, Happenings, Mimeographed Zines, Pop Art, Protest-Folk, Ridiculous Theater, Stand-Up Poetry, Underground Comix, and Underground Movies). But there were also movements of one. Their art, rooted in the detritus and excitement of urban life, was taboo-breaking and confrontational. As J. Hoberman shows in this riveting history, these subcultures coalesced into a counterculture that changed the city, the country, and the world.
