The 33rd edition of Outsider Art Fair (OAF), the premier fair dedicated to Self-Taught Art, art brut, and Outsider Art, features 66 exhibitors from 40 cities in 9 countries at the Metropolitan Pavilion.

Visitors to the fair can expect to see art by acknowledged masters such as Henry Darger (1892–1973), William Edmondson (1874–1951), Augustin Lesage (1876–1954), Judith Scott (1943-2005), and Bill Traylor (1854-1949), as well as works by living artists such as Noviadi Angkasapura, JJ Cromer, Shuvinai Ashoona, M’onma, Julian Martin, Margot, Dan Miller and Leopold Strobl.

OAF 2025 welcomes back renowned dealers like Fleisher/Ollman Gallery (Philadelphia), which will be devoting its entire presentation to works from the estate of long-time American Folk Art Museum board member Audrey B. Heckler. It will include examples by James Castle (1899-1977), Sam Doyle (1906-1985), Howard Finster (1916-2001), Martín Ramírez (1895-1963), and Bill Traylor. Ricco/Maresca Gallery (New York) will present works from the collection of advertising pioneer Robert M. Greenberg. Built over more than 40 years, this collection holds superb works by Darger, Traylor, and Adolf Wölfli (1864-1930), among others. Aarne Anton/Nexus Singularity (New York), Cavin-Morris Gallery (New York), Marion Harris (Connecticut and New York), all of whom have exhibited with OAF since its founding, make their returns, and after a five-year hiatus, original exhibitor Henry Boxer (London) will also be on hand.

Outsider Art Fair 2005's Curated Space, Follow My Moves, will be an exhibit of Self-Taught art from Brazil, curated by São Paulo-based Mateus Nunes, and will feature works by renowned artists such as Amadeo Luciano Lorenzato (1900–1995), Chico da Silva (1910–1985), Conceição dos Bugres (1914-1984), and Maria Lira Marques (b. 1945).

Zürcher Gallery will feature a solo show of drawings by American poet Ted Joans (1928-2003) and James Barron will exhibit the work of Janet Sobel (1893–1968), whose abstract paintings were championed by Peggy Guggenheim in the 1940s and were recently featured in a solo exhibition at Houston’s Menil Collection.

“The 2025 Outsider Art Fair is a testament to the rich diversity of our field, and as always, embraces art from the fringes,” said Andrew Edlin, the fair’s owner. “As the art world continues to catch on to the power of the work our exhibitors have been championing for decades, a new generation of OAF dealers is discovering artists who will become part of the canon in years to come.”

Placé sous la direction de Sarah Lombardi et de Baptiste Brun, l’édition contemporaine de l’Almanach de l’Art Brut est enrichie d’une préface, d’un essai critique, d’une postface et de notices biographiques des auteur-e-s et des rédacteur-trice-s du manuscrit original.

Parmi ceux-ci, citons des personnalités de premier plan de la scène littéraire et artistique parisienne, tels qu’André Breton, Benjamin Péret, Michel Tapié et Jean Paulhan, ou encore des ethnologues et psychiatres suisses, comme Eugène Pittard, Charles Ladame et Walter Morgenthaler. Les travaux de plus de quarante auteur-e-s y sont rassemblés, certain- e-s inconnu-e-s ou mésestimé-e-s à l’époque du projet initial. C’est ainsi que Jean Dubuffet réunit Aloïse Corbaz, Gaston Chaissac, Henri Salingardes, Scottie Wilson ou encore Adolf Wölfli autour de la notion d’Art Brut, qu’il mûrit alors.
