  10. The term, Funk, was coined in 1966 by Peter Selz for a show at the University of California Art Museum in Berkeley, California.  The implied meaning was something common, dopey, stupid or low.  Shows of Funk Art were often met with the question, "What, you call this Art?"  They were inspired by the Pop Art movement. For example, they looked to the work of Claes Oldenburg. -http://davidgilhooly.com/02funk.htm Oldenburg, Clothespin Centre Square Plaza, Fifteenth and Market streets, Philadelphia Cor-Ten and stainless steels 45 ft. x 12 ft. 3 in. x 4 ft. 6 in.
