Mentally ill creating fantastical 'raw art' factory

MARIA GUGGING, Austria - Nestled in the hills of Austria sits Gugging, an artists' colony with a difference where the worlds of psychiatry and art collide - with spectacular success.

Over the past 50 years, mentally ill patients here have churned out an astounding 75,000 recognized artworks, some selling for over 100,000 euros ($110,000).

In particular, it is a wellspring for "Art Brut", producing some of the giants in the popular genre like August Walla, Oswald Tschirtner and Johann Hauser.
