Yale University Press

Explore the complex constructs that have marginalized 'outsider' and self-taught artists in American vanguard art from 1920-2020. This insightful hardcover book, "Boundary Trouble in American Vanguard Art," features 16 essays that challenge established narratives in American and modernist art histories. It examines the works of notable artists such as Romare Bearden, James Castle, Minnie Evans, Marisol, Betye Saar, and Rosie Lee Tompkins. Rooted in intersectional studies drawing on race, queer, and feminist scholarship, these perspectives advocate for a broader engagement with works and makers often excluded from mainstream visual culture. The book makes a compelling case for recognizing and embracing the value of all artists, trained and untrained, fostering a more inclusive art world. This comprehensive volume offers a profound examination of artistic boundaries and their impact on art history.
