The Outsider Art Fair is coming to New York on January 29, bringing 47 international galleries of folk, self-taught, and outsider art to Center 548 for four glorious days. The fair offers the rare opportunity for artists operating far outside the regulations of the art world — whether marginalized, isolated, incarcerated, institutionalized or psychologically compromised — a space to show the vibrant and singular artworks that don’t just reflect their worlds, but constitute them. In anticipation of one of our favorite art events of the year, we’re spotlighting a different outsider artist every day.

We value the work because it is so raw and it was so sincere. He really dealt with the human situations that others in his situation wouldn’t have dealt with.”
Frieder’s work will be on view courtesy The Good Luck Gallery at the Outsider Art Fair, from January 29 until February 1, at Center 548 in New York.
