THE NEW YORK TIMES

PENNSYLVANIA---Jill and Sheldon Bonovitz are doing a great thing for the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and for the rest of us too. They are planning to bestow upon it their beloved, finely calibrated collection of 20th-century American outsider art. The museum is celebrating its good fortune with “Great and Mighty Things: Outsider Art From the Jill and Sheldon Bonovitz Collection,” an exhilarating exhibition accompanied by an exceptional catalog. The Bonovitz collection, formed over 30 years by Mr. Bonovitz, a lawyer in Philadelphia, and his wife, a ceramic artist, is widely acknowledged as outstanding in outsider circles. [link]
