Outsider Art Fair Doubles in Size for 2019

Brook Mason has a preview of this year’s Outsider Art Fair in New York and the attendant auctions at Christie’s—where there’s a $250k Henry Darger and some Bill Traylor’s on offer. The number of dealers at the Outsider Art Fair has more than doubled this year to 65:

  • High-profile collectors such as MoMA president emerita Agnes Gund, as well as A-list artists Maurizio Cattalan, Sophie Calle, and KAWS, regularly snap up prize examples.
