The owner of galleries in Chicago and New York, a founding participant in New York's annual Outsider Art Fair, and a founding Director of Raw Vision magazine, Kind enthusiastically championed the creations of art brut and outsider artists, and played a leading role in developing a serious, thriving market for their works both in the United States and internationally.
