Ah, Joseph Cornell. How I love thee.

If you get back to the Art Institute and can find a good print in the gift shop of Ivan Albright's "That Which I Should Have Done I Did Not Do (The Door)", let me know. Or if you can get a good, clear, decently-lit photo, I'd even take a digital file. I took some shots of it when we were there last year but they didn't turn out, and at the time the gift shop didn't have any prints for sale. I *love* that piece. It's hanging right next to his "Portrait of Dorian Gray."

I can't find a decent quality pic of it on line.

I know exactly the one you're talking about - it was on the other side of a doorway from Dorian Gray.

It's funny, cos I almost took a pic of both.

If I go back, I will take a look for you! :)

Thanks! And if they do have a print of it, I can either paypal you or mail a check.

I watched "Dorian Gray" a few months ago on TCM, after seeing the painting at the Art Institute. Now I'll have to look at it closer when we come back and see if there's a patched knife hole through his heart on the canvas.
