AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Working in obscurity for over a decade, Outsider contemporary artist Werrick Armstrong emerges with his personal "Field of Dreams," a powerful body of work destined to draw the attention of prominent collectors and art professionals worldwide.

"Werrick Armstrong intends to accomplish something never before attempted: the sale of a multi-million dollar body of unknown work to a single, visionary collector," says agent Al Spector. "He will consider selling individual pieces, but his preference is to attract that one individual or institution desirous of possessing an outstanding collection in its entirety, a unique acquisition available nowhere else in the world. Although an extremely select group of major collectors has received a coveted invitation to view his secret art space, we expect the news of its existence to spread quickly."

With no track record in the art establishment and no gala introductory event, this 60-year-old grandfather of five elects to start at the top. Spector smiles, saying, "It's the Big Bang Theory of Artistic Dissemination."

Werrick Armstrong's provocative collection appears full-blown, with a myriad of pieces produced over many years suddenly revealed as a cohesive entity. Housed in his private Texas compound, the collection is remarkable in passion and scope, encompassing installations, mixed media theater, paintings and sculpture.

"These pieces are powerful, provocative and sublime," Spector says.

Eclecticism reigns. There are massive glass vitrines, erotic bound prosthetics, gaily dressed baby dolls wearing spectral paper masks, ethereal portraits, neon enhanced paintings, majestic bronze Creator and infant sculptures, even an authentic boxing ring containing a crucified Christ in tattered pugilist regalia.

"Werrick Armstrong's preference to work in obscurity, his untrained, unchained artistic passion, and his belief in the spiritual nature of his talent make him a true Outsider," Spector states. "But his unorthodox approach to the handling of his collection makes him a maverick."

Werrick Armstrong's extraordinary visions will be displayed indefinitely in his private space. Additional invitations will be issued at the artist's discretion.
