Established in 1979, the Carl Hammer Gallery is internationally recognized as one of the major pioneers discovering work by Outsider, Folk, and self-taught artists, exhibiting and presenting it to a world-wide art-collecting public. Holding fast to the Dubuffet definition of outsider art, we strive to offer "work produced by people immune to artistic culture in which there is little or no trace of mimicry." For over 35 years, Carl Hammer Gallery has achieved international recognition by museums and acceptance by the academic mainstream for its philosophy equating and combining the innate genius of major artists and objects from this self-taught tradition within a programming context of mid-twentieth century modern and contemporary art as well.
