Andrew Edlin Gallery is pleased to present Booth 529, a group exhibition running concurrently with Outsider Art Fair Week. Show dates are January 21 - February 1, 2003. Gallery artists including Vahakn Arslanian, Tom Duncan, Paul Edlin, and Michael Ryan will be featured along with some recent acquisitions, including two works by Henry Darger.


Newly acquired pieces by Hans Krüsi(1920-1995) will also be on view. Krüsi’s current exhibit has been extremely well-received, thanks in part to a feature article by Edward Gomez in the Sunday New York Times on December 1. Marc Lamy, an artist from Lyons who along with Krüsi has had a solo exhibition at the Collection de L’art brut in Lausanne, will have his elaborate drawings displayed for the first time in New York.

The gallery will also introduce the works of two artists for the first time. Rudy Rotter (1913-2001) was a dentist in Manitowoc, Wisconsin who produced enough art during his life to fill an entire warehouse. Two of his powerful wood bas-reliefs of Old Testament imagery will be in the exhibit. Etta Ehrlich, a practicing psychologist, collects unusual and antique bottles and places single words and short phrases on them, reflecting her work which connects psychology with Eastern meditation.
