Jim Dine Prints, 1985-2000: A Catalogue Raisonne

by Elizabeth Carpenter , Joseph Ruzicka , Richard Campbell , Evan Maurer , Jim Dine, Evan M. Maurer 

This finely crafted catalog was published in conjunction with an exhibition held at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts last summer and shows the rich diversity of work by American artist Jim Dine (b. 1935). Dine's enormous artistic output, often associated with the pop art movement of the 1960s, includes paintings, sculpture, and photographs, but nowhere has he more strikingly demonstrated his virtuosity of materials and content than in his career-long interest in printmaking. The enormous volume of work contained in this catalog is chronologically arranged and includes two instructive essays by curator Carpenter and Joseph Ruzicka (Landfall Press: 25 Years of Printmaking), who discuss Dine's prints, artist's books, and portfolios. The information is presented clearly, and the varied page layout gives this book an innovative look and feel. Included are a helpful key to the prints, selected exhibition history, glossary of printmaking terms, selected print bibliography, index of print titles, and general index. An essential book on Dine's prints, this is highly recommended for all academic and large public libraries.
