Jim Dine’s prolific career as printmaker, painter and sculptor has spanned over six decades, and his iconic images are
internationally renowned. Born in Cincinnati, Ohio, he studied at night at the Cincinnati Art Academy during his senior year of high school, and then attended the University of Cincinnati, the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and Ohio University, Athens, from which he received his BFA in 1957. Dine moved to New York in 1959 and soon became a pioneer creator of ‘Happenings’ together with Allan Kaprow, Claes Oldenburg, and Robert Whitman. Since his first solo exhibition in 1960, Dine’s paintings, sculptures, photography, and prints have been the subject of nearly 300 solo exhibitions worldwide. In 1970, the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, organised a major retrospective of his work, and in 1978, the Museum of Modern Art, New York, presented a retrospective of his etchings. In 2017, Dine was honoured by the International Print Center New York. He lives and works in Paris, New York and Walla Walla, Washington.
