As promised, here are my highlights from this weekend’s Outsider Art Fair in NYC. Every year, my senses are overwhelmed by the amazing work confined in such a small space. It’s a dizzying and deeply inspiring expierience, walking through the maze of booths, each set up by a different gallery showcasing their strongest self-taught artists. I’m also excited to report, this is the first year that I purchased a piece of art myself!
I have decided in honor of the fair, I am going to post a different blog entry throughout the year on all of the artists featured here, plus more so stay tuned. (And in the meantime, try to guess which piece I walked away with, proudly beaming all the way home on the subway, clutching the carefully wrapped package like it was my first christmas.) One of the best feelings ever.
I’m guessing the Lynda Gardner piece!
SO glad you were a shopper! That piece is so cool, really like it. I’m still zonked from the Fair, but it was rad
