Looking forward to watching this.
Although this is the second time the art world has embraced outsider art (some huge shows in the 90s) - they should do their research better.

You beat me to it Rybo.
This was SUCH an awesome and inspiring program last night. I was genuinely moved (almost to tears) by some of this artwork and artists.Art for arts sake, the need to create art and not created for the need or greed of fame or fortune. Innocent unique genuine art!
I'm going to re-watch the program, jot down the names and find out more about these artists. Would love to support them by buying.
The painting above behind Alan is a belter!

Really good show, Yentob had some nice Air Max.
If you haven't seen it 'Journeys Into The Outside with Jarvis Cocker' is a great series on outsider art from 1999.

The title made me think of this article

I wrote my dissertation for my degree years ago about outsider art and its overlap into the established art world. A really interesting subject and I could have spent ages reading about it. A couple of interesting reads are: 'Raw Creation: Outsider Art and Beyond', and also 'Outsider Art: Spontaneous Alternatives'. Also look up the Prinzhorn collection.
