Ephemera. Zustand: Near Fine. First Edition. The scarce December 1942 announcement card from the Julien Levy Gallery over its Joseph Cornell / Marcel Duchamp / Laurence Vail 3-artist show. A bright, well-preserved example of the fragile card, which measures 5 1/2" wide x 4 7/8" tall. Clean and Near Fine in its mustard yellow, with collage-work on both sides of the card.

Single sheet. Zustand: Near Fine. The wonderful announcement for Joseph Cornell's December 10th-26th, 1940 solo show at New York's Julien Levy Gallery. A modest, small sheet of paper which unfolds elegantly into 5 printed flaps (on EACH side), celebrating Cornell's legendary collecting and his whimsy. With illustrations and acknowledgements of "soap bubble sets", "shadow boxes", "minutiae", "daguerreotypes", "miniature glass bells", etc. Plus an "Homage to Romantic Ballet" and 3 of its star dancers (Marie Taglioni, Fanny Cerrito and Carlotta Grisi). The announcement is clean and vey bright, and, unfolded, almost resembles a cross. And finally, this copy also boasts superb provenance, having come directly from Joseph Cornell's family and, before that, from Cornell's house itself, famously on Utopia Parkway in Flushing, Queens (New York).

Single sheet. Zustand: Near Fine. The scarce September-October 1948 announcement and catalogue for this Joeph Cornell exhibition at the Copley Galleries of Beverly Hills.

On the front panels, Cornell collage work in a white backdrop, on the rear panels the catalogue itself plus an elaborate lunar orbit in a surreal navy-blue relief.

Ephemera. Zustand: Near Fine. First Edition. The uncommon announcement for the Joseph Cornell December 1939-January 1940 "Exhibition of Objects", held at New York's formidable Julien Levy Gallery.

The rear panel features a full-page essay by Parker Tyler (leading New York surrealist thought of as Joseph Cornell's closest friend) and the other panels highlight "Biblioquet", a Cornell collage from the exhibition.
