Maxwell Projects gets a couple of nods in New York Times review of the Outsider Art Fair today


The Outsider Art Fair is on this long weekend in NYC at 7 West 34th Street location. My husband Kerry's outsider/folk art business Maxwell Projects has a booth there, and today got a nice mention in the New York Times review of the fair by Martha Schwendener. Follow the link below to the story:

Aaron Birnbaum's "Two peacocks in  tree"
"Outsider art also accommodates the late bloomer. Aaron Birnbaum, a retired New York tailor, started painting at 65. His lovely “Two Peacocks in Tree” from 1985 at Maxwell Projects is framed by painted pieces of a wooden crib found in the street." writes Ms. Schwendener in the N Y Times.
