New York Outsider Art Fair
It’s that time of year again when the New York Outsider Art Fair opens its doors to artists, new and old, and I am excited, once more, to be part of it. I have a vast array of talented artists to showcase including: Kate Bradbury, Nek Chand, Miguel Ángel Hernando, Carlo Keshishian, Pradeep Kumar, Cara Macwilliam, Mohammed M’rabet, Chris Neate, Valerie Potter, Shinichi Sawada, Marie Suzuki, Yoshihiro Watanabe, and Terence Wilde.
Art Brut Global
About the Exhibition
The Outsider Art Fair presented Art Brut Global, a virtual exhibition of artworks sourced through their network of renowned galleries and dealers. A three-phase project, Phase I highlighted works by canonical artists in the field from the world’s leading experts in Outsider Art, the exhibitors. Phase II highlighted artists that have become known to the field in the last three years and Phase III highlighted accomplished outsider artists living around the world.
As a leading focal point of the Outsider Art world, OAF is uniquely positioned to organise an exhibition that assembles the best available works in our field, and rally the passionate community of aficionados, collectors, and fairgoers that have been following OAF since its inception twenty-eight years ago.
Outsider Art dealers have carved out an historically important and influential niche in the art world landscape, thriving on the strength of the powerful art they have unearthed in places where few others were looking. With the help of astute writers and visionary curators, artists who today are the cornerstones of the Outsider Art and Art Brut canon like Aloïse Corbaz, Henry Darger, Thornton Dial, Martin Ramirez, Shinichi Sawada, Judith Scott, Bill Traylor and Adolf Wölfli, have transcended those categories and been recognised as some of the greatest artists of their times. Now, a new generation of dealers and scholars has risen to the fore, making discoveries and using digital technology to reveal and disseminate incredible accounts of self-taught creators and the universes they invent.
Outsider Art Fair New York 2019
About the Exhibition
2019 started with a bang with my second appearance at the New York Outsider Art Fair. There were new ceramic works by Shinichi Sawada and automatic black and white drawings by Chris Neate, alongside 1970s mosaicked sculptures by famed outsider artist Nek Chand. Three artists made their debut at the fair too: complex colourful drawings by Japanese artist Norimitsu Kokubo, delicate but dark embroideries by British artist Valerie Potter and overlaid text and block colour drawings by German artist Robert Fischer.
