Inside Outsider Art [17 Jan 2020]

Art Brut: auction prices going crazy [01 Jun 2004]
The marginal Art Brut movement has been forcing its way into the heart of the art market in recent years. The museums have already got their hands on the best pieces, and now works on offer at auction are starting to be snapped up.
