In the mid 1960s, while seemingly all the world was focused on New York Pop, a small, fearless group of Chicago artists—including Roger Brown, Gladys Nilsson, Jim Nutt, Ed Paschke, Christina Ramberg and Karl Wirsum—went rogue, producing exuberantly irreverent works that were surreal, ephemeral, comical, weirdly erotic and very often collaborative. Pentimenti Productions’ feature-length documentary film, Hairy Who & The Chicago Imagists (directed by Leslie Buchbinder) has been released as a limited first edition of 1000 (500 on DVD, 500 for Blu-ray) designed by the noted Chicago design team, Sonnenzimmer. Edition includes two flipbooks, one out of three collectible Risograph posters and an essay by Robert Storr.

Edition of 500 on DVD. Mint copy with limited edition two color Risograph poster printed below. Includes two flip books, poster, four page liner notes and original packaging. Mint condition.
