FAMILY FOUND THE LIFETIME OBSESSION OF A SELF-TAUGHT ARTIST The significant art world find of the sculptures and photographs of Morton Bartlett will be offered for sale at Sanford Smith's Fall Antiques Show in October in New York. Undiscovered for thirty years, this remarkable collection evoking Degas, Henry Darger and Lewis Carroll, will be fully exhibited for the first time. An accompanying four colour catalogue will address the art-historical parallels and psychological issues this complex and compelling body of work clearly presents. With a foreword by international art critic Bill Hopkins, particularly known in the Outsider art world for his travels to France with Scottie Wilson and their meetings in Paris with Dubuffet and Picasso, the catalogue, as well as the work itself, will offer a lively, lasting and scholarly contribution to the field. Four colour catalogue—$25.00, $28.00 by mail. Please call, write or fax to order.
