What is the Joseph Cornell stuff? All I could find was a Wikipedia mention of some boxes, but no actual description.


Read Count Zero and you will learn all about Joseph Cornell. Not facts, mind you, but you will learn what Cornell's work feels like.

The Cornell exhibition I went to see is, alas, closed now:

http://www.amazon.com/Joseph-Cornell-Lynda-Roscoe-Hartigan/d...

...and all the boxes are back in the hands of various collectors. But modern art museums have them in smaller numbers. I saw a few of them at the Art Institute of Chicago, for example.


That comment tells me nothing about what the boxes are, though :(

I see, thank you.
