## Caption

Even without any formal art background, Joseph Cornell was an expert collector and curator of found materials and curiosities. His influential shadow boxes, lovingly composed from mementos, curios, images clipped from their literature, and ordinary or ephemeral objects that he came across, became dimensional worlds of wonder that laid the foundations for assemblage and installation art.

The source material of those worlds, squirreled away in storage boxes or stacked on nearly every surface in Cornell’s basement studio at his home along Utopia Parkway in Queens, is reconvened in a new devotional exhibition that recreates the late artist’s workspace. Gagosian curator Jasper Sharp and filmmaker Wes Anderson co-developed the exhibition at the gallery’s storefront location in Paris, the city Cornell knew intimately and deeply longed for, but ultimately never visited.
