It’s Not Over til the Cat Lady Sings: 
Threatened with bankruptcy, the American Folk Art Museum has survived to celebrate its 50th anniversary in its Lincoln Square venue. It celebrates with the show “Jubilation/Rumination: Life, Real and Imagined,” which features nearly 100 objects by self-taught artists exploring “the intersection between life and imagination.” Included are well-known figures like Martin Ramirez, Henry Darger, and Adolf Wölfli, along with many others whose names are still lost to us, including the portraitist of a Mrs. Keyser and her tiger kitty, painted in Baltimore around 1834.
