New Book on Strauser
Recently released book about Sterling and his circle of artists. Written by Mike Feinsilber based on interviews with Sterling back in the 1970’s. It is full of quotes by Sterling, which I can attest are quite accurate having heard most of the same during my 30 plus years acquaintance with the Strauser’s. Also it briefly tells of the relationships which the Strauser’s had with Victor Joseph Gatto, Justin McCarthy, and Jack Savitsky. Copies are available thru the Politics and Prose Bookstore in Washington, DC. Phone 202-364-1919

Sterling Strauser Gallery at ESU
There has been growing interest in the Sterling Strauser Collection and Gallery which we were instrumental in founding at East Stroudburg State University. The objective was to honor this significant American Modernist artist along with his wife Dorothy, a gifted artist in her own right for their considerable contributions, especially to the field of folk and outsider art. ESU’s Kemp Library has placed information on-line including several interviews which discuss various aspects of the effort and which also speak to Strauser’s art and life.
