"Flying Free: Twentieth-Century Self-Taught Art from the Collection of Ellin and Baron Gordon" by Ellin Gordon, Barbara L. Luck and Tom Patterson, exhibit catalog for The Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Folk Art Center, 1997.

Really, I have to point the finger at the Gordon's for opening my eyes to the possibilities of collecting outsider art. I was lucky enough to visit them one summer day at their home. The minute I walked in...well, it changed my life. Everywhere you looked was the most amazing art. For whatever reason, it hadn't dawned on me that this art I loved was "collectable" (yes, I am a bit late in this game...and slow). And they
were so gracious as I went from room to room, gasping. Right there and then, I knew that collecting outsider art was going to be a part of my life. I thank them from the bottom of my heart.
