Price: €42

Produced on the occasion of the touring exhibition, Who Chicago: An Exhibition of Contemporary Imagists.

Westermann, Karl Wirsum, Joseph Yoakum, Ray Yoshida.

The Chicago Imagists emerged in 1966, when six recent graduates of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago held a groundbreaking exhibit in Chicago’s South Side. Calling themselves the Hairy Who, the artists thumbed their noses at the art establishment, producing works that were outrageous, aggressive, humorous and scatological. Reflecting bright color, patterning and precise craftsmanship, the group’s exhibitions incorporated such features as comic book catalogues, discount-store price tags, linoleum-covered walls and displays of thrift-shop finds.
