Story / Additional InfoJim Dine has become most well-known for his painting and printmaking of every day objects like bathrobes, vegetables, rainbows, neckties, hearts, and tools reducing them to their essence or transforming them into abstract allusions.

Working with the illustrious Petersburg Press (London) Dine created the 8-part suite of ""Vegetables"" using a mix of collage and lithography. Both The Musée des Beaux Arts de Montreal and MoMA have examples of Dine's ""Vegetables"" in their permanent collections. "

Jim Dine - United States

Art Brokerage: Jim Dine is an American artist and poet known for his contributions to the formation of both Performance Art and Pop Art. Employing motifs which include Pinocchio, heart shapes, bathrobes, and tools, Dine produces colorful paintings, photographs, prints, and sculptures. "I grew up with tools. I came from a family of people who sold tools, and I've always been enchanted by these objects made by anonymous hands," Dine has said. Born on June 16, 1935 in Cincinnati, OH, he studied poetry at the University of Cincinnati before attending the University of Ohio where he received his BFA in 1957. After moving to New York in 1958, Dine became part of a milieu of artists which included Allan Kaprow and Claes Oldenburg, with whom he began to stage performances at sites in the city, these later became known as "Happenings." By the early 1960s, he had switched his focus towards painting, drawing on his interest in popular imagery and commercial objects. Though he was shown alongside Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol, Dine never considered himself a member of the Pop Art movement. The artist currently lives and works between New York, NY and Walla Walla, WA. His works are included in the collections of The Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Tate Modern in London, the Bilbao Fine Arts Museum, and the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, among others.
