Founded in New York in 1993, the Outsider Art Fair stands as the pioneering art fair focused on self-taught art. The annual event showcases works by acclaimed masters such as Henry Darger, Bill Traylor and Aloïse Corbaz, as well as living artists like George Widener, Dan Miller, Leopold Strobl, Christine Sefolosha and Lonnie Holley. Renowned for its rebellious spirit, OAF has played a vital role in building a passionate collecting community and increasing the overall recognition of outsider art in the contemporary art world. In 2012, OAF was acquired by Wide Open Arts, a company established by New York gallerist Andrew Edlin. A Paris edition of the fair ran for 10 years, from 2013-2022
