Works from the 1960s
Jim Dine
Info: Gaa is delighted to announce Works from the 1960s, a selection of early drawings, paintings, and sculpture by Jim Dine (b. 1935, Cincinnati, Ohio). Bringing together works completed between approximately 1960 and 1970, the exhibition highlights a pivotal moment in the artist’s career, when Dine developed the formal and conceptual foundations that would shape his enduring contribution to Post War American art. A visual artist, poet, and performer, Dine first rose to prominence in New York in the late 1950s as a key participant in the earliest Happenings, alongside artists including Claes Oldenburg, Lucas Samaras, and Robert Whitman. While historically embraced by the Pop Art movement for his use of everyday objects as subject matter, Dine’s work ultimately defies easy categorization, intersecting with Neo Dada and later anticipating aspects of Neo Expressionism. Across paintings, assemblages, sculptures, drawings, prints, and poetry, his expansive practice has consistently explored the expressive and metaphorical potential of ordinary things. (…)
