Detour Art: Outsider, Folk Art, and Visionary Environments Coast to Coast - Art and Photographs from the Collection of Kelly Ludwig

Serving as a vibrant primer for people new to Outsider Art and love letter to those fairly familiar with it, Detour Art brings art and images by visionaries, untrained artists, and folk creators found along the back roads of America. It honors the creative spirit that is at once traditional and whimsical, spiritual and irreverent, earthy and sublime.

Included are works by Thornton Dial, Mose Tolliver, Jimmy Lee Sudduth, Howard Finster, Minnie Adkins, Linvel and Lillian Barker, The Baltimore Glassman, Sulton Rogers, Mary T. Smith, and James Harold Jennings. Among the folk art environments documented are S.P. Dinsmoor's The Garden of Eden, Leonard Knight's Salvation Mountain, Kenny Hill's Garden of Salvation, Dr. Evermor's Forevertron, and The Grotto of the Redemption.

The book features 99 encapsulated biographies and over 280 full color photographs.
