Fleisher/Ollman is proud to present works from the collection of Audrey Heckler, a visionary collector who began collecting in the 1990s after attending the Outsider Art Fair. Heckler became an avid student of the field, not simply checking off a list of must-have artists, but plunging into its bounty with zealous curiosity attending panel discussions, viewing numerous exhibitions, and forming an extensive archive and library. While she acquired work by major figures in the American and European canon including Bill Traylor, Martín Ramírez, David Butler, Adolf Wölfli, James Castle, Thornton Dial, William Hawkins, Anna Zemankova, Augustin Lesage, and Carlo Zinelli, among others, she also was enthusiastic about lesser known artists like M'onma, Lubos Plny, and Georgia Blizzard. From this amazing assemblage she gifted a substantial group of work to the American Folk Art Museum where she was a longtime trustee. With nearly everything she owned on display in her home, she created an eclectic environment that buzzed with energy.
