Description: "Outsider art - the so-called untrained style of those who are self-taught - has enjoyed a recent surge in popularity. Dan Prince, who has been studying and collecting this art form for over twenty-five years, thinks perhaps it is time to reexamine some of our beliefs about art. Passing in the Outsider Lane takes a look at the true art experiences of twenty-one artists. Many of these artists have been dismissed as insane, unschooled, or childish.

Prince's compassionate and insightful profiles of these individuals allow us to share in their environments, their life stories, their creative processes, and their feelings about art.
Notes: This book was pulled from circulation in 1996 after Eadweard r. York aka Rhawn York filed a lawsuit in United States Federal Court for Copyright Infringement and Libel against Dan Prince and Journeys Edition.  Attorney Deborah Drooze in Los Angeles represented Eadweard r. York. The case was settled out of court for an undisclosed sum, a retraction, and  an apology was issued by Mr. Prince, and Journey’s Edition to Eadweard. The only books that were suppose to be sold were the ones that were in circulation at the time of the lawsuit.

Eadweard r. York is included in the book with a chapter featuring his early paintings, and performance art in the out of print hardback book: "Passing in The Outsider Lane" published by Journey Editions / Charles Tuttle alongside the infamous visionary artist Reverend Howard Finster (Talking Heads, REM album covers,) and the legendary L15 whom allegedly filed suit against Prince for the same thing as Eadweard. 

“Eadweard states that the book is a classic textbook example of pure exploitation of the self-taught / outsider artist with a babbling psychoanalysis of their work and a polluted diatribe of  fabrication to sell more books by the author.”

The out of print book, and contents from the artist are now included in the Vanderbilt Universities permanent collection, and this sold out book has become a collectors item.
