“The Gallery of Everything returns to Frieze Masters with Jean Dubuffet's groundbreaking 1947 le Foyer de l'art Brut”
The Gallery of Everything returned to Frieze Masters as part of Sir Norman Rosenthal's collections section. Its chosen subject, Jean Dubuffet's groundbreaking 1947 le Foyer de l'art Brut - the experimental Parisian salon organised by the artist with his gallerist René Drouin, and art critic Michel Tapié - made public for the very first time the untrained images and image-makers who would fascinate Dubuffet for the rest of his life.
Artists on display included draughtsman Gaston Chaissac, portraitist Aloïse Corbaz, pointillist Fleury-Joseph Crépin, autodidact Miguel Hernández, pre-historian Juva (Prince Antonin Juritzky), satirist Pascal-Désir Maisonneuve and visionary Louis Soutter - as well as the infamous swiss outsider Adolf Wölfli and several rare and anonymous sculptures known only as Les Barbus Müller.
