Outsider Art is increasingly recognized as a representation of the purest and most direct form of artistic creation.

The concepts of raw art and outsider art were typical of a time when oppositional politics still infused artistic and academic discourses.

Inherent in all artistic activity, these dialogical mechanisms become particularly striking in outsider art and can serve as a basis for fighting stigma.

The principal problem with Outsider Art is the most obvious: it is so often so bad.

Outsider art could not be stopped. Once its greatness — and its market potential — was understood, the insider art world opened the flood gates and here we are.
