Highlights from The Outsider Art Fair 2018 (Video)



At Hauser & Wirth’s 22nd Street gallery, Louise Bourgeois. Gathering Wool proposes a subtle but consequential shift in how the artist is seen.
In North Pole and Other Precarious Landscapes, the Monegasque painter Philippe Pastor arrives in Milan with a body of work that might have seemed impossible in an earlier moment of abstraction: canvases that are both profoundly formal and explicitly bound to environmental urgency.
At the Pérez Art Museum Miami’s 2025 Art Basel party, the museum briefly became what it always promises but rarely achieves so effortlessly: a civic room where art, bodies, sound, and weather negotiated space together.
Being green can mean many things—lush, envious, ill, or newly formed—and in the work of Henri Rousseau it holds all of these meanings at once, shaping his jungle paintings as visions of untamed nature filtered through European fantasy, colonial voyeurism, and a longing for distant places he never visited. Though derided during much of his life as “rough” or “childlike,” Rousseau’s self-taught naïveté, flattened forms, and folk-like mythologies ultimately earned the admiration of avant-garde artists, including a young Pablo Picasso.
