Gagosian is collaborating with filmmaker Wes Anderson and curator Jasper Sharp to present an exhibition of Joseph Cornell's work in Paris. Titled *The House on Utopia Parkway*, the show will feature a recreation of Cornell's New York studio designed by Anderson, housing over 300 objects and curiosities from the artist's collection, including iconic works like "Pharmacy" (1943) and "Untitled (Pinturicchio Boy)" (1950). The exhibition runs from December 16 through March 14 at Gagosian's rue de Castiglione space, marking Cornell's first solo presentation in over four decades.
This collaboration matters because it bridges cinema and visual art through the lens of two meticulous creators—Anderson and Cornell—whose aesthetic sensibilities have long been compared. By staging the show in an immersive, Anderson-designed environment, Gagosian aims to draw new audiences to Cornell's pioneering assemblage practice, while also highlighting the artist's enduring influence on figures like Marcel Duchamp, Andy Warhol, and Yayoi Kusama. The exhibition coincides with Cornell's 122nd birthday, underscoring a renewed institutional focus on his legacy.
