Chicago, IL: Hyde Park Art Center, 1966. First edition. Softcovers. The Harry Who was a loose group of six Chicago artists that included Karl Wirsum, Suellen Rocca, Jim Nutt, Gladys Nilsson, and Art Green. As a whole their art was influenced by surrealism and comics but differed vastly from the more well known Pop Art movement. A complete run of the four comics/catalogs. The first three are from shows that were in Chicago. Includes "The Portable Hairy Who!" which was issued for a run of February 25 through April 9, 1966. "The Hairy Who Sideshow" which was for a show that ran February 24 through March 24, 1967. "Hairy Who" the third show that ran April 5 through May 11, 1968. The fourth and final was "Hairy Who (cat-a-log)" and was in held at the Corcoran Gallery and ran April 15 through May 17, 1969. Each catalog is illustrated throughout in color and black and white in their own wild and original style. All four are in close to near fine stapled wrappers with some very slight wear and with some light soiling to the first catalog. Housed in a custom black cloth clamshell box. Complete runs are very uncommon and hard to assemble.
