What Nerve!

Peter Saul's "Vietnam" (1966) is reproduced from What Nerve! Alternative Figures in American Art, 1960 to the Present, the companion publication to the exhibition opening tonight at all three Matthew Marks galleries in New York. A "one-man movement" according to the exhibition's curator Dan Nadel, Saul was also part of the Funk group which showed at the University Art Museum at UC Berkeley in 1967, and included Jeremy Anderson, Robert Arneson, Joan Brown, William T. Wiley, Ken Price, Roy De Forest, Robert Hudson, Peter Voulkos and Saul. "These artists, grouped together under the term Funk, made sprawling, often grotesque work that refused to abide by the then-prevailing California cool."
