“Deborah Solomon’s admirable biography illuminates the life of the
man without diminishing the mystery of his art.” —New York
Magazine
“A principal virtue of this biography . . . is that it challenges
in a very authoritative way the received idea of Cornell as merely
the timorous recluse, the marginal artist of Utopia Parkway.”
—James R. Mellow, New York Times Book Review
"As perfectly composed, richly nuanced and quietly surprising as
one of Cornell's boxes." —Donna Seaman, Chicago
Tribune
"Deborah Solomon's clear-eyed and sympathetic narrative does for
[Cornell's] life what he, as an artist, did for his penny
world...It is a book about Cornell I would not dare to have
hoped for in our mean and deconstructionist age." —Arthur C.
Danto, Art Critic, The Nation
“Fascinating reading . . . Skillfully weaving together fact,
anecdote, and conjecture, Solomon brings Cornell’s place in the art
world and his legacy to artists of the younger generation into
sharp focus.” —Allison Kemmerer, Boston Book Review
