The "Hairy Who (cat-a-log)" is one of four illustrated booklets published to accompany the Hairy Who s first group exhibitions held between 1966 and 1968. For this publication, mirroring a comic book in size and format, each artist created their pages without any knowledge of the other's contributions until  printing. It was created in conjunction with the fourth Hairy Who group exhibition on 15 April - May 17, 1969 at the Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C. The Hairy Who group consisted of Jim Falconer, Art Green, Gladys Nilsson, Jim Nutt, Suellen Rocca and Karl Wirsum. Diverging from the contemporaneous Pop Art, Hairy Who utilized imagery from popular culture to create hallucinatory, psychedelic artworks more in line with Gary Panter than Warhol.
