Art brut

L’art brut, definita come l’arte realizzata da autori non professionisti che operano al di fuori delle istituzioni del mondo dell’arte, rappresenta un settore sempre più importante e variegato del panorama artistico contemporaneo; non a caso, i principali musei stanno costituendo collezioni e organizzando mostre retrospettive dedicate ai suoi esponenti.

Christie’s è il leader di mercato in questa categoria e detiene i record mondiali d’asta per esponenti dell’art brut di grande importanza, tra cui Henry Darger, William Edmondson e Bill Traylor.
