Andrew Edlin Gallery is pleased to announce On the Outskirts : Art Brut, Neuve Invention and Outsider Art from January 20 - 31, 2004 , the third in a series of exhibits of that have taken place during a major art fair taking place close by. The first two events were in Miami Beach, Florida during Art Basel Miami Beach (Dec. 4 - 7,
2003) and Art Miami (Jan. 7 - 11, 2004). Thislast exhibit will take place at the gallery itself  during the Outsider Art Fair in New York City.

The first two exhibits were designed to highlight the place of Outsider Art within the context of the Contemporary Art World, whose attention was clearly focused on Miami Beach for the Art Basel event as well as the smaller N.A.D.A. and Scope art fairs. The dramatic success of the first "On the Outskirts..." has propelled the gallery to return one month later for the smaller but long-established Art Miami, also at the Miami Beach Convention Center.

This exhibit will, like its two predecessors, bring together the gallery's artists with historical names in the field. A recently acquired drawing by Adolf Wölfli will be one of the show's highlights together with works by Henry Darger, Bill Traylor, Charles Dellschau, and Martin Ramirez. Also featured will be major works by Hans Krüsi(1920-1995) never seen before in North America and works by Swiss artist brut Carl Binder(1913-1985) whom the gallery only recently discovered.

A cocktail reception on Friday, January 23 from 6 - 10pm will be open to the public.
