This new venue, a former chateau of the Duke de Morny, will accommodate 36 dealers, up from 25 the two previous years. There are 13 new dealers for Paris. This includes three of the most esteemed galleries in the field: Carl Hammer Gallery (Chicago) is renowned for representing seminal artists like Henry Darger and Joseph Yoakum. Ricco Maresca Gallery (New York) has championed important artists such as Bill Traylor and represents the estate of Martin Ramirez. Hirschl & Adler Modern (New York), which has a long history with self-taught art, represents the estate of the critically acclaimed James Edward Deeds (a.k.a. the Electric Pencil). With the return of Cavin Morris Gallery (New York), Fleisher Ollman Gallery (Philadelphia) and Galerie du Marché (Lausanne), the third edition of OAF Paris is sure to have the broadest selection of blue-chip art brut and outsider art thus far. The fair’s reach continues to expand internationally with new dealers that include Budapest Art Brut Galeria, Art Naïve Gallery (Moscow), England & Co. (London) and Maroncelli 12 (Milan), and also with the return of Atsuko Barouh (Tokyo), Rizomi Art Brut (Turin) and Galeria Estação (São Paulo).

OAF Paris will feature two dynamic, specially curated booths. One is a solo presentation of the works of 33 year-old Japanese sculptor Shinichi Sawada, whose reptilian ceramic monsters astounded visitors at the 2013 Venice Biennale, the Collection de L’art brut and London’s Wellcome Collection in recent years. In the second booth, British curator Leah Gordon will curate “Babel,” a collective work derived from an open call to artists and architects who will be asked to design an imaginary tower, recalling the visionary structures of artists like Le Facteur Cheval and Simon Rodia. The selected designs will materialize via a 3D printer and be installed directly in the booth. The expansion of the Paris edition of the Outsider Art Fair reinforces its reputation for presenting works by the world’s most celebrated self-taught creators along with newly discovered artists from around the globe.
