Neal Auction Vernacular & Outsider Art 2022
Neal Auction is pleased to present its inaugural dedicated Vernacular & Outsider Art Auction. This sale brings together a wide range of art by Self-Taught, Outsider and Visionary artists, many of them from the American South, who created or continue to create bodies of work beyond the boundaries of the traditional art world. These artists transcend genres through vernacular visual expressions uniquely tied to their state of mind, culture and environment. The items offered in this sale are each part of original bodies of work inspired by the artists? personal and emotional experiences, and yet they also convey universal themes of life with universal appeal.
While many of the artists included in the auction have ties to Louisiana and the South, their common connection is one of form, vivid palette and narrative. From Clementine Hunter?s depictions of life on Melrose Plantation to Jimmy Lee Sudduth?s imaginative figures to Hart McNee?s rare works delivering a social commentary on New Orleans, the artwork captivates through its unconventional media, subject matter and creative expression.
Widely considered the foremost auctioneer in the sale of 19th and 20th century southern regional art and material culture, Neal Auction has a long history of record-breaking results for Vernacular and Outsider artists. By bringing these works together in a curated annual sale, we look forward to further highlighting these artists and providing an opportunity for established and new collectors to explore this flourishing market.
