The Outsider Art Fair and Kerry Schuss' booth Maxwell Projects

The annual Outsider Art Fair in New York is this weekend!
Feb 5th to Feb 7th 1(11am-7pm Sat) and 11am to 6pm Sat) at 7 West 34th Street in New York City.
Kerry Schuss, who owns Maxwell Projects, has spent months discovering some amazing new work to showcase.

Here, on the left, he shows collage pieces by Birdie Lush, who made these in the 70's. She was an older woman and an untrained artist in Ohio, who turned everything in her apartment into a piece of art. She was discovered by a cab driver who helped carry groceries up to her apt and uncovered a magical world of end tables embellished with paper mache swans and a phone that was decorated to look like a handbag.

Dolls by a North Carolina doll maker are shown for the first time.
