Art in America Magazine September-October 1968 Vol 56 No 5 Grass-Roots Artist Folk Art Feature Dave Woods Cover Vintage Art Magazine

This September–October 1968 issue of Art in America marks a pivotal moment in art history, featuring Gregg N. Blasdel's groundbreaking essay "The Grass-Roots Artist," which introduced self-taught, visionary environments to mainstream discourse and remains influential today. The cover showcases Dave Woods's striking roadside assemblage from Kansas—painted lawn-mower blades, signs, and bottles—alongside works by fifteen other outsider artists, plus notable pieces on architecture, museum collecting, and contemporary artists like Jack Youngerman. The magazine shows good condition with light wear and a clean interior, making it a substantive addition to any collection of twentieth-century art criticism.
