I first learned of Joseph Cor

who sent me a clipping from a

local New York paper. It was

obviously written by someone

It did (ARTnews, Feb. '73).

I met Joseph Cornell throughan odd circumstance; about

1964 as a young person living

in Queens. I was looking for

summer work. I read an ad fo r

an assistant in an art shop.

I arrived at the address, expecting a commercial hobby- --::

art shop of sorts, and instead

found Corne ll's row home in

Flushing. My first meeti ng

that day with Joseph Cornell

was both opaque and irresis.

ao,y attractive. He wai. the

strangest, most gentle and

1did not clearly understand

who and what he was, as a

person 01an artis t, until half

the summer had passed. In

dusting the porch one day, I

found magazine articles r -

vealing him to me.

• His life seemed, at tne time,

hampered by the physical in

capacities of his brother

Robert and his mother. Cornell

felt he could not leave them

alone, yet would not "turn

them over" to what he saw

as the insensitivities of hired

nurses. He seemed to like me,

and so I stayed on. wpsable t o takP sllort t p5 to

Flushing's Main Street to

peruse the 5 and 1Oc stores

for goodies, and be out in the

world for a while. Once, weboth went to Kresge's (his

favorite) and he mesmerized

Robert was an avid collector

of model trains l n raaJ I think

that was the or i91nul lor

Cornell's w rm relationship

with Tony <rurtis. I recall my

about Cornell's death in exactly

the way I did. I suppose I al

notion of seeing him, talking

with him again some lime.

Saul Steinberg has drawn car·

loons of people speaking, with

flowers and strange symbols

in the balloons ~ r r ; i m&heir mouths. I ways felt

Joseph Co1 wal> 1.;\ne1like those drawings. He was
