New York, NY – January 16, 2025 – The Outsider Art Fair (OAF), the premier fair dedicated to Self-Taught Art, Art Brut, and Outsider Art, is pleased to announce its exhibitor list for 2025. The 33rd edition of the fair, taking place at the Metropolitan Pavilion from February 27 to March 2, will feature 66 exhibitors from 40 cities across 9 countries.
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), alongside works by living artists like Noviadi Angkasapura, JJ Cromer, Shuvinai Ashoona, M’onma, Julian Martin, Margot, Dan Miller, and Leopold Strobl.
OAF is excited to welcome back renowned dealers such as Fleisher/Ollman Gallery (Philadelphia), which will devote its entire presentation to works from the estate of long-time American Folk Art Museum board member Audrey B. Heckler. This will include works 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 outstanding works by Darger, Traylor, and Adolf Wölfli (1864–1930), among others.
Other returning exhibitors include Aarne Anton/Nexus Singularity (New York), Cavin-Morris Gallery (New York), and Marion Harris (Connecticut and New York), all of whom have exhibited with OAF since its founding. After a five-year hiatus, original exhibitor Henry Boxer (London) will also be participating once again.
This year’s Curated Space, Follow My Moves, will showcase Self-Taught art from Brazil, curated by São Paulo-based Mateus Nunes. The exhibition 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).
Other booth highlights include paintings by Maurice Sullins (1910–1995) at Hana Pietri (Chicago), works by manga artist Takashi Nemoto at Akio Nagasawa Gallery (Tokyo), and pieces from the Canadian Arctic and other contemporary Inuit artists at Feheley Fine Arts (Toronto). 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 edition will welcome eighteen first-time exhibitors, including Akio Nagasawa Gallery (Tokyo), BravinLee Programs (New York), Court Tree Collective (Brooklyn), Diamond (New York), Espacio KB (Bogotá), Elza Kayal Gallery (New York), The FolkArtwork Collective (Des Moines, Iowa), Hughes at Olsen (Sydney, Australia), Interact Center for Visual & Performing Arts (St. Paul, MN), Gallery jones (Vancouver), Galerie Kahn (Ars-en-Ré, France), Keith De Lellis Gallery (New York), Modesti Perdriolle Gallery (Brussels), Claire Oliver Gallery (New York), Pan American Art Projects (Miami), Peninsula Art Space (New York), Plataforma ArtBase (Mexico City), and Van Der Plaas (New York).
“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 recognize the power of the work our exhibitors have championed for decades, a new generation of OAF dealers is discovering artists who will become part of the canon in years to come.”
A panel on Follow My Moves will kick off the Fair’s 2025 OAF Talks series at the Americas Society/Council of the Americas (680 Park Avenue, NYC) on Tuesday, February 25th. Details TBA.
