Paolo Bianchi's essay introduces this issue devoted to "outsider art"; he seeks to confirm the thesis that nearly all 20th c. American artists are outsiders, and attempts to characterize the nature of their marginality in the context of art brut, folk art, insanity and art, artists as "fools," vagrancy and art and literature. Issue also contains essays exploring the status of a number of artists as outsiders, including H. Kramer and P. Bianchi on John Graham, A.M. Fischer on Forrest Bess, U. Breger on Brion Gysin, Bianchi on William Burroughs, G. Presler and M. Thévoz on Rosemarie Koczy, Bianchi and R. Fleck on Don van Vliet, and S. Scalora and J.F. Turner on Howard Finster. Includes discussions of installations, crafts, quilts, computer art, architecture and furniture design, comics, graffiti art (with an interview with Keith Haring), street and ghetto art.
