Anderson Cooper, the CNN anchor, walked into the David Zwirner Gallery, in Chelsea, the other day to see the retrospective of Diane Arbus photographs. The first picture one sees upon entering is titled “A Very Young Baby, N.Y.C.” Cooper was particularly interested in this picture, for he is that baby.
This being an Arbus show, “Very Young Baby” is surrounded by photographs of giants, cross-dressers, circus “freaks,” street people—all sorts of outcasts and eccentrics. “Which is fine by me,” Cooper said. “They’re all interesting characters. My goal is always to lead an interesting life. I got a good kick start.” He looked around. “To be a small piece of it—it’s cool.”
His parents were the writer Wyatt Cooper and the designer Gloria Vanderbilt. “They wanted me and my brother to be involved in their lives,” Cooper said. “There was no kids’ table.” They hosted the first dinner for Charlie Chaplin when he returned to New York from exile in 1972, and Cooper remembers shaking Chaplin’s hand .
“I have these three letters,” he went on, bringing up images of them on his phone, noting that he found them after his mother died, in 2019, when he started rummaging through her boxes of papers. One letter from Arbus to Vanderbilt begins: “I printed this for you last spring but I forgot about it until I heard about your new baby.” She was referring to a picture she’d taken of Cooper’s older brother, Carter. “Also I have something beautiful to ask you about.
