contents Given a connected large-type Artin group $A_Γ$, we introduce a deformation space $\mathcal{D}$. If $Γ$ is triangle-free, or has all labels at least 6, we show that this space is canonical, in that it depends only on the isomorphism type of $A_Γ$, and admits an $\Out(A_Γ)$-action. Using this action we conclude that $\Out(A_Γ)$ is of type VF, which implies $\Out(A_Γ)$ finitely presentable. We emphasise that our proof can handle cases where $Γ$ has separating vertices, which were previously problematic. In fact, our proof works for all connected large-type Artin groups satisfying the technical condition of having rigid chunks. We conjecture that all connected large-type Artin groups have rigid chunks, and therefore outer automorphism groups of type VF.
