Notes
Jim Dine, born June 16, 1935, is an American artist known for his prominent contributions to the formations of both Performance art and Pop art. Dine's work can be described as multimedia as it includes painting, drawing, printmaking, sculpture and photography. His early works comprised mostly of assemblage and recently he has turned his focus increasingly toward poetry. The artist has been closely associated with many art movements including Neo-Dada, Abstract Expressionism, and Pop art, although he has avoided such classifications.
Dine has had more than 300 solo exhibitions, including retrospectives at the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York (1970), the Museum of Modern Art, New York (1978), Walker Art Center, Minneapolis (1984–85), Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park, Grand Rapids, Michigan (2011) and Museum Folkwang, Essen (2015–16). His work is in permanent collections including the Art Institute of Chicago; the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; the Musée National d'Art Moderne, Centre Pompidou, Paris; the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.; Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York; Tate Gallery, London; Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum, Tokyo; and Yale University Art Gallery, New Haven, Connecticut.
