 * Philadelphia Wireman aka Philadelphia Wire Man is a known Outsider artist whose work is in notable collections, including the Musgrave Kinley Outsider Art Collection. Thanks for getting this article started Sdedeo. Jscarboro (talk) 22:23, 21 March 2016 (UTC)

In need of a makeover
This whole article could do with a thorough rewriting, starting with better references (several of those are broken or generic). This Brendan Greaves piece is probably taken from the 2010 exhibition catalogue cited |here, and has the most specific detail. The Greaves (2011) | monograph on the Wireman would be the best source. I'm also keen to approach the gallery and see if they would consider releasing a photograph into the Commons, so we at least have an illustration of the work if not the artist.

 * Well, I wrote to the gallery in October asking for permission to use a photo, and for any references they could share, and they didn't even reply. Giantflightlessbirds (talk) 19:20, 5 December 2015 (UTC)


 * Very resourceful, thanks Giantflightlessbirds It's hard work tracking down info about anonymous artists! Found a bit in Outsider Art: From the Margins to the Marketplace There's also a Raw Vision article: "Psychic Magnets: the Philadelphia Wireman" from 1992  Jscarboro (talk) 22:37, 21 March 2016 (UTC)
