Untitled (Penny Arcade Portrait of Lauren Bacall)

Location: the collection of Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Bergman, Chicago.

The portrait of the cinema and theater star, Lauren Bacall, surrounded by several thumbnails, looks like an altar of worship in front of her divine beauty and bright glory. But it is not just an interesting assembly of photographs of the actress, glass partitions and windows. Few people know that Cornell cut a small door in the side of the wooden box through which you can put a small wooden ball inside. Rolling along the partitions, it gradually moves to the very bottom, bypassing the skyscrapers of New York on its way, film frames from movies with the actress and her close-up portrait.
