The Wunderkammer that is Webb Gallery

Webbgallllll
I've posted previously about the Webb Gallery, an immensely interesting gallery in Waxahachie, Texas that specializes in outsider art and the artifacts of secret societies, and overflows with an incredible (dis)array of curiosities, from tramp art to circus sideshow banners. I discovered Webb Gallery and met the delightful proprietor, Bruce Webb, last year when he sold me an artwork by William S. Burroughs who had exhibited at the gallery right before his death. The Texas art site Glasstire has published Christina Patoski's photo tour of the Webb Gallery and Bruce and Julie Webb's equally odd living space above. Glass Houses 21: Julie and Bruce Webb

I liked the photos from the past exhibit on the "Art of the Secret Society". However, I wish the photo were larger. Kind of hard to make out the detail and that is usually where all the fun is. This kind of exhibit would make a super-cool catalog.

I totally agree! Bruce is one of the world experts on that stuff. Maybe he'll do a book on it someday!
