London : Royal Academy of Arts , 2015. 1st. Hardcover. Very Good/None. Hardcover, 272 pages, without dust jacket. Like new in publisher's shrink-wrap. Joseph Cornell (1903–1972) was one of the 20th century’s leading exponents of collage and assemblage.

The contributors raise questions about Cornell’s artistic processes… Read More
