Cornell and Kusama met in 1964 and for a time maintained almost daily contact. Cornell is admired for the exquisite box constructions he has assembled using a variety of small, common objects, treasured ephemera and memorabilia. Although Cornell and Kusama worked in very different media and scales, their art is visually arresting and shares an interest in mystery, repetition and childhood visions. Organized by the Menil Collection, the exhibition is shown exclusively at the museum as part of its ongoing 10th-anniversary celebration.
