JOSEPH CORNELL Untitled (Derby Hat).
Est: $1,500 - $2,500
JOSEPH CORNELL Untitled (Derby Hat). Color photogravure, 1972. 337x262 mm; 13¼x10½ inches, full margins. With the artist's signature ink stamp and numbered 28/125 in pencil, lower margin. From Prints for Phoenix House. A very good impression. A native of Nyack, New York, Cornell (1903-1972) was an American visual artist and filmmaker, one of the pioneers and most celebrated exponents of assemblage. Influenced by the Surrealists, he was also an avant-garde experimental filmmaker. He was largely self-taught in his artistic efforts and improvised his own original style incorporating cast-off and discarded artifacts. He lived most of his life in relative physical isolation, caring for his mother and his disabled brother at home, in a working-class area of Flushing, New York, but remained aware of and in contact with other contemporary artists (though he never traveled beyond the New York City area).

Joseph Cornell (American, 1903-1972) - The Commodore Pose Mixed media collage on board 12 x 9 in. (30.5 x 22.cm) Provenance The Artist. Acquired directly from the above. Private Collection. Sotheby's, New York, sale of November 9-10, 1983, lot 112. Acquired directly from the above sale. The Collection of Sidney Rothberg, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Literature Cf. Kynaston McShine, Joseph Cornell, Museum of Modern Art, New York, 1980, p. 114, fig. 24 (another work illustrated). Lot Essay This work, based on an original sketch by Joseph Cornell’s brother, Robert, was created for Edward Halper in commemoration of a trip through Brooklyn on June 4, 1971. Halper, an art enthusiast and collector known for his support of younger and emerging artists, fostered a close friendship with Joseph Cornell during the late 1960s. Cornell’s relationship with his brother significantly influenced his art. Robert was born with cerebral palsy and had intellectual disabilities, and Joseph took on a caregiving role for him. This relationship played a pivotal role in shaping the emotional and thematic content of Cornell’s work. Many of his pieces carry a sense of nostalgia, mystery, and a desire to create magical realms, reflecting the profound impact of his connection with his brother. Cornell also played a significant role in encouraging Robert’s artistic hobby, which resulted in a substantial body of pencil and ink drawings in the 1920s. Just as Cornell incorporated and transformed reproductions of artworks by other artists in his box constructions and collages, he applied a similar approach to his brother’s drawings. Cornell developed at least a dozen collage series based on his favorite drawings by Robert; The Commodore Pose is one of these. In these collages, he modified reproductions of Robert’s images using various techniques, from staining the paper to adding cutouts. The collaboration between the brothers not only highlighted the supportive relationship between them but also demonstrated how Cornell integrated various artistic influences, including those from his brother, into his own innovative and distinctive body of work.
