January 28, 2021 - February 7, 2021
Outsider Art Fair (OAF) returns to New York for its 29th edition, bringing for the first time a multi-locational program featuring events at venues across Manhattan, along with a virtual facet. Live and open through February 7, the self-taught- and art brut-focused fair features exhibitors from nine countries, presented through seven in-person exhibitions and an online viewing room supported by Artlogic.
Following the success of the Paris fair’s first-ever hybrid model, this edition of OAF has been curated by Gary Panter. The concept sees host galleries partnered with visiting presenters to offer a series of thematic exhibitions, on view at four spaces across the city, concurrently with a full presentation of artworks shown digitally.
Locals can expect to see exhibitions like “To Be Human: The Figure in Self-Taught Art” at Hirschl & Adler, featuring works by names like Henry Darger and James Edward Deeds; a show of more than a dozen artists at Andrew Edlin Gallery titled “Figure Out: Abstraction in Self-Taught Art; three shows on view at Shin Gallery, including a compilation of African American artists from the deep south at Shin Gallery; and Salon 94 Freemans’s showing of Aboriginal artists titled “Semiotic Terrain: Art from Australia and New Zealand.”
