Outsider Art Fair Paris 2022: A Decade of Celebrating Art Brut

From September 15 to 18, 2022, the Outsider Art Fair (OAF) in Paris marked its tenth anniversary, gaining autonomy from FIAC week. The fair showcased 38 galleries representing 13 nations, with Kyiv's Rodovid Gallery highlighting the works of Ukrainian folk artist Maria Prymachenko (1909–1997). Featured Biennale artists included Sister Gertrude Morgan, Minnie Evans, and Shuvinai Ashoona. A special exhibition titled 'I Wish I Could Speak in Technicolor,' curated by Maurizio Cattelan and Marta Papini, spotlighted Eugene Von Bruenchenhein (1910–1983). New director Sofia Lanusse remarked on a cultural shift towards a more inclusive art history. Additionally, Italian galleries Maroncelli 12 and RIZOMI Arte emphasized the international oversight of Italian outsider artists, with the Casa dell'Art Brut in Casteggio reflecting Italy's increasing interest in this field.
