JIM DINE (B. 1935)

Jim Dine (b. 1935) is an accomplished draughtsman and printmaker who was closely associated with the Pop art movement of the early 1960s. After attending the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and Ohio University, Athens, Dine moved to New York in 1959 where he exhibited at Judson Gallery and had his first solo show at the Reuben Gallery in 1960. He has had major retrospectives of his work at the Whitney Museum, the Walker Art Center, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, and the National Gallery of Art as well as a retrospective of his etchings organized by the Museum of Modern Art. Dine worked with Graphicstudio from 1973 to 1989, creating ten print editions and two sculpture multiples that proved to be the most technically ambitious works completed by the atelier at that time.
