David Kennedy

Cornell: A Circuition around his Circumambulation


Published by West House Books 2001

Edition 1st

Condition Mint

A homage to a major twentieth-century artist. Joseph Cornell is best known for his boxes in which seemingly unrelated objects gathered on walks through New York were fashioned into aviaries, pharmacies, hotels and penny arcades. In a series of prose meditations David Kennedy considers the boxes as structures of feeling and sets Cornell’s work in the context of other art and poetry inspired by city walking.
