Jim Dine Reihenfolge der Bücher

Catalog of an exhibition of portrait drawings by Jim Dine hosted by the Bowdoin College Museum of Art from December 7, 2023, to June 2, 2024, including an accompanying transcript of an interview with the artist conducted in 2021.

Jim Dine is an exceptional artist who works across a seemingly boundless range of media--painting, printing (etching, lithography, linocuts, serigraphy and more), drawing, sculpture, photography, poetry, performance art and bookmaking. Unlike artists who focus on a single medium, Dine, since his first works made while still at high school, has--over the course of seven decades--explored and respectfully disrespected materials and processes. He takes this approach to a new intensity in Dog on the Forge, the book accompanying his exhibition of the same name at the Palazzo Rocca, a Collateral Event at La Biennale di Venezia. Here Dine re-invents some of his most beloved motifs, including Pinocchio, antique sculpture, hearts and tools, all in eclectic combinations of media such as painted bronze and collage on canvas. The results, vibrating with restless, sometimes frenzied energy, are a transcendent leap into the unpredictable future of Dine's never-ceasing creativity.

Storm of Memory celebrates 25 years of Jim Dine’s ongoing residency in Göttingen and productive friendship with his printer and publisher Gerhard Steidl. Dine’s eclectic choice of subject and media for the book reflects what he calls “the climate of everything possible here with Gerhard S.” Works include “Elysian Fields,” a series of grand plaster heads inspired by antiquity and “lost friends and fragments of my life”; “The Secret Drawings,” majestic, dark, vibrating, abstract with hints of figuration; prints of his beloved motifs Pinocchio, hearts, bathrobes, tools and classical torsos; and photo documentation of “Poet Singing (The Flowering Sheets),” Dine’s site-specific installation at Kunsthaus Göttingen of handwritten poetry, sculpture and self-portraiture. Published to coincide with Dine’s 88th birthday on 16 June 2023 and the opening of his exhibition of the same name at the Kunsthaus, Storm of Memory chronicles the restless present of his nearly seven-decade career and underlines the roles Göttingen and Steidl have played as a crucible for his creativity. Exhibition 17 June - 17 September 2023 at Kunsthaus Göttingen

This book explores the uncompromising processes of autobiographical excavation at the heart of Jim Dine’s art today. Here his focus lies on three self-reflective series from the past three years, each in a different medium. In the self-portraits of “Drawing the Minutes” Dine less draws with pencil on paper than carves into it, feverishly erasing and redrawing to create a shifting typography of self and a study on the effects of time. The densely painted self-portraits of “Me” comprising oils mixed with sawdust and sand deepen Dine’s acts of looking out and in, each layer of pigment a layer of self-knowledge. Finally we witness the monumental bronze sculptures of “Three Ships” whose title references the ships that carried the relics of the Three Wise Men on their final journey. Five years in the making, Dine’s ships are dynamic masses studded with branches, ropes and dozens of tools—one of his most beloved motifs, born from childhood hours of intense observation spent in his grandfather’s hardware store. Accompanied by short personal texts by the artist and photos documenting him at work at the Kunstgiesserei St. Gallen foundry, Three Ships is a testament to Dine’s vitality and transformative versatility—which sweep across six decades and show no sign of abating.

A five-volume collection of poems from a prolific American artist with a wide-ranging oeuvre American artist Jim Dine (born 1935) has a six-decades-long career spanning painting, drawing, printmaking, sculpture, photography and poetry. This latest collection of his intensely autobiographical poems consists of five volumes probing themes of anti-Semitism, racism, climate change and failed world leaders.

With its fairy-tale yet matter-of-fact title, Grace and Beauty reveals Jim Dine's unquenchable enthusiasm for re-imagining his iconic personal motifs-here the Classical torso, hearts and tools-in experimental combinations of media. The book contains his most recent works, all from 2022: mixed-media assemblages, and monumental bronze and stainless-steel sculptures-"an army of sculptures: flowers, machines, and primitive skulls at once"-which he often adorns with thick coats of explosive color. These are hybrid forms between sculpture and painting whose stark contrasts display the artist's quest for new territories of beauty. Dine introduces each group of works with a short personal text and complements them with a series of documentary photographs taken at Kunstgiesserei St.Gallen, where his sculptures are born-the site of his proud collaboration with the foundry's expert team and the crucible for his ongoing struggle with matter. At 87, I paint what I want and how I want so that now the horse I keep tethered in the studio is completely without a rider. - Jim Dine Co-published with Galerie Templon, Paris

This book is literally Jim Dine’s letter to his “troops,” a confessional address to the people he has collaborated with, to his friends and family. Consisting of a long fluid poem and 18 color linocut portraits of those closest to Dine, the book explores his emotions and thoughts including childhood memories, reflections on his present artistic practice (“This week I painted, painted, painted the possibility of permanent silence”), as well as more philosophical musings (“Earth gives birth to time and heaven in a jealous parliament”). This new Steidl book is an adaption with revised design and typography of Dine’s original My Letter to the Troops of 2016, a limited edition of 40 featuring linocuts hand-printed on Arches vellum from the blocks at Atelier Michael Woolworth in Paris.
