Kunstkammer de jovens Medici

Joseph Cornell never reveled in his growing status as seminal figure, however. His last years were his st isolated. He would watch neighborhood children from his window, leaving boxes out on the porch for them to play with. In 1972, Cornell died at his Utopia Parkway home. He was cremated; his ashes buried in a small wooden box.
