Cornell's own biographical information for an exhibition at The Museum Of Modern Arts in New York.

'Charlie told marvelous stories about Cornell which I'm sure were all true. I heard about Cornell's file cabinets where he would keep something for like twenty years and then remember it and go directly to it and make a work. I listened forever and thought Cornell was a romantic character.'

Robert Rauchenburg from Deborah Soloman's biography Utopia Parkway.
