My Mentor's Latest Construction

At Indiana University's art museum, there was a construction by Joseph Cornell. My teacher, mentor, coach, and friend, Elmer A. Ruff, has created several dozen constructions or assemblages.

This is his most recent work: titled "God Bless the Trash Man Opus 2" His first "God Bless the Trash Man" construction was apparently much smaller. I haven't seen that one, but I LOVED this one.

The photo doesn't really do justice to the real 3-dimensional work. You cannot believe how many unique objects are arranged inside this box!

The work is for sale for $995. It is approximately 24" x 12" x 7."
