Get into Outsider Art in New York

Art aficionados or people with a blossoming interest in modern culture will have an opportunity to boost their knowledge of Outsider Art in New York in the new year.

Between January 25th and 27th people staying in cheap hotels in New York can catch the Outsider Art fair at the Puck Building, which showcases the work of some of the city's most exciting and progressive artists.

Those with deep pockets will have the chance to make few purchases, while those whose finances do not stretch to splashing the cash at art fairs will have to settle for just looking.

The Puck Building stands on Lafayette Street in the Soho neighbourhood, which is part of the New York borough of Manhattan.

Outsider Art is a term coined in 1972 by art critic Roger Cardinal to classify work created by people on the margins of mainstream culture and society.

French artist Jean Dubuffet was one of the best known proponents of Outsider Art, or Art Brut as it was known in France, and often studied work by patients in insane asylums.
