Of the new additions, three are presenting pieces from the more recent past that enliven the exposition by broadening its range. Read More

One of the pleasant surprises of the Outsider Art Fair, which runs Jan. 31 through Feb. 3 at the Center 548 building in Chelsea, is the inclusion of the young art dealer Vito Schnabel, son of Julian, best known for organizing roving shows with artists like the Bruce High Quality Foundation, Terence Koh and Laurie Anderson. The fair was purchased last fall by art dealer Andrew Edlin, who told Gallerist at the time that he was trying to make it “more a part of the art world conversation.” Mr. Schnabel will stay mostly true to the fair’s folk art roots, though with a more contemporary twist, showing work by the artist Vahakn Arslanian.
