Crain’s Chicago Business previews three current and upcoming Art Design Chicago exhibitions related to the Chicago Imagists, speaking to former Hairy Who member and exhibition curator Suellen Rocca.

“Art Design Chicago, the yearlong initiative of the Terra Foundation for American Art, has shined lights on the city's contributions to visual culture, affiliating more than 30 exhibitions around the city and suburbs…One well-lighted group is the Chicago Imagists, an irreverent coterie of visual artists who gained notoriety in the 1950s and 1960s, and who electrify three exhibits opening in September.” – Crain’s Chicago Business
