Steven S. Powers presents, NEEDLE • KNIFE • TORCH [&] BRUSH, a collection of Outsider, Folk Art and good ol' Americana.

Featuring the works of Joseph Roth, a schizophrenic patient at the Central Islip Psychiatric Center, NY, 1905. At least eleven works by Roth have been identified, ranging in date from 1905-1921. The earlier ones while he was in Central Islip and then later when he was a patient at the Binghamton State Hospital. Roth and these works are an important addition to the canon and study of American Outsider Art.

In addition to these exciting works, we have a number of works from the esteemed Marvill collection of American Folk Art. We are also pleased to represent a few works by the Pennsylvania painters, John David Wissler and William Kocher.
