Dedicated to his friend, Joseph P. Bauke. Bauke was a professor of German Literature and Chair of the German Department at Columbia University. Professor Bauke became close friends with Joseph Cornell in the mid-1960's, and frequently visited Cornell's studio in Flushing, NY, where they had wide-ranging discussions about art, literature and life. Cornell was experimenting with various techniques, and presented this experimental piece to Professor Bauke as a gift.
