As the genre has increased in popularity, so have the amount of publications related to self-taught, folk and outsider art. There are some beautiful books available that serve as introductions to folk art, as well as anthologies, collections and books focusing on particular artists. We recommend all of these books as a supplement to a folk art collection. These books are available online through Amazon.com. We have current and back issues of Raw Vision available at the gallery.
