“Hairy Who and The Chicago Imagists” Film

  • Hyde Park Historical Society 5529 S Lake Park Ave Chicago, IL, 60637 United States (map)

Join the HPHS at our headquarters on October 13th at 7pm for a film screening of “Hairy Who and The Chicago Imagists”


A lavishly-illustrated romp through Chicago Imagist art: the Second City scene that challenged Pop Art’s status quo in the 1960s, then faded from view. Forty years later, its funk and grit inspires artists from Jeff Koons to Chris Ware, making the Imagists the most famous artists you never knew.
