Few artists ever led a stranger life than Joseph Cornell, the self-taught American genius prized for his enigmatic shadow boxes, who stands at the intersection of Surrealism, Abstract Expressionism, and Pop Art. Legends about Cornell abound - the shy hermit, the devoted family caretaker, the artistic innocent - but never before has he been presented for what he was: a brilliant, relentlessly serious artist whose stature has now reached monumental proportions.
