Newly Discovered Works by Mexican Artist – Martin Ramirez – (found in a garage)
Posted on: October 29th, 2007
Some 140 drawings by the late Mexican folk artist Martin Ramirez, once destined for the trash, survived for more than two decades in a California garage and will be shown next year at the American Folk Art Museum.
The discovery of the works by the self-taught draftsman, who spent almost three decades in mental institutions, was astounding given that only 300 of his drawings and collages were known to exist until now, the museum said Monday.”*
