Description: Gugging Artists, Outsider Art, Austria Click to Enlarge Description: The Artists of Gugging Die Kunstler Aus Gugging Austrian Cultural Institute, New York, 1991, first edition. In English and German. White wrappers with red decoration on the front, quarto, 33 pages, 12 plates, mostly in color, bibliography. Scarce catalog of a New York exhibit of works by Austrian Gugging Haus der Künstler artists (Johann Fischer, Johann Hauser, Arnold Schmidt,, Philipp Schöpke, Heinrich Reisenbauer, Johann Korec, Fritz Koller, Franz Kernbeis, Johann Garber, Franz Kamlander, Oswald Tschirtner, August Walla.) "Gugging" is the abbreviated way of referring to the Haus der Künstler (House of Artists) at the Lower Austrian Psychiatric Hospital in the hamlet of Gugging, outside Vienna. The Haus der Künstler was established by the psychiatrist Leo Navratil, who began to notice that the art produced by certain of his patients far transcended the qualitative parameters of traditional art therapy. These artists, selected by Navratil with advice from local museum officials and artists (including the well-known painter Arnulf Rainer), began to publicly exhibit in the 1970s. In 1981, the Haus der Künstler, a separate facility on the hospital grounds, was erected as a place for these artists to live and work as a community. Predating the current fad for "outsider" art, the Gugging colony has exhibited throughout Europe, the United States and Japan, and is widely recognized for its pioneering integrity and quality.

Media Mail, available only for domestic shipping, is trucked to its destination, and shipped by boat to Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico, On the average it takes 3 to 10 days to arrive, depending on the distance and the vagaries of the US Postal Service. Shipments to Alaska, Hawaii, APO and other off-shore addresses take longer to arrive. During the pre-Christmas season, Media Mail is subject to delays.

For expedited domestic mailing, Priority Mail shipping can be arranged at an additional cost. For most books, we charge between two and nine dollars for this service, including delivery confirmation and insurance. For heavy sets or high-value books, the charge may be higher. INTERNATIONAL For international shipping, we urge bidders to request quotes of shipping costs before bidding. We will also specify international shipping options and prices after the conclusion of the auction. We will try to provide a range of options but buyers should be aware that all shipments are via air mail and shipping of heavy books can be expensive. COMBINED SHIPPING For international transactions, combined shipping of multiple lots can substantially reduce postage.

For the above options, the postage rate is fixed independently of the weight. INSURANCE All of our domestic shipments are fully insured. Payment : No credit cards except through PayPal.
