Add to basketSingle sheet. Condition: Near Fine. The wonderful announcement for Joseph Cornell's December 10th-26th, 1940 solo show at New York's Julien Levy Gallery. A modest, small sheet of paper which unfolds elegantly into 5 printed flaps (on EACH side), celebrating Cornell's legendary collecting and his whimsy. With illustrations and ac…knowledgements of "soap bubble sets", "shadow boxes", "minutiae", "daguerreotypes", "miniature glass bells", etc. Plus an "Homage to Romantic Ballet" and 3 of its star dancers (Marie Taglioni, Fanny Cerrito and Carlotta Grisi). The announcement is clean and vey bright, and, unfolded, almost resembles a cross. And finally, this copy also boasts superb provenance, having come directly from Joseph Cornell's family and, before that, from Cornell's house itself, famously on Utopia Parkway in Flushing, Queens (New York).
