Bonovitz Donation at Philadelphia Museum of Art

Great and Mighty Things: Outsider Art from the Jill and Sheldon Bonovitz Collection includes nearly 200 drawings, paintings, and sculptures from the 1930s to 2010 by 27 outsider artists. Using unconventional materials in innovative ways, these self-taught artists have drawn upon their life stories and surroundings, as well as popular culture, to create highly personal and intensely compelling objects of rare accomplishment and compelling beauty.


Until June 9, 2013 at Dorrance Galleries, Philadelphia Museum of Art, 2600 Benjamin Franklin Pkwy Philadelphia, PA 19130, USA

Electric Pencil at Lausanne, Switzerland

The first European show devoted to American artist James Deeds, who produced 283 individually numbered drawings whilst in a psychiatric institution. He executed his drawings in lead pencil, ink and coloured pencil before sewing them together into an album. The current owners of the work searched for five years before finally discovering the creator's identity. In the meantime, he had been nicknamed 'The Electric Pencil' in reference to the letters ECT appearing on several of his drawings, most probably an acronym for 'Electro Convulsive Therapy.'

Until June 30, 2013 at Collection de l’Art Brut, 11, av. des Bergières CH - 1004 Lausanne, Switzerland
