Since the 1950s, Jim Dine has built an expansive and diverse multimedia practice, spanning painting, drawing, printmaking, sculpture, photography, poetry, and performance. A pioneering figure in the Happenings movement, Dine worked alongside artists like Claes Oldenburg and Allan Kaprow to create experimental live performances in New York City during the 1960s. Over time, his work evolved, intersecting with movements such as Neo-Dada, Pop Art, and Neo-Expressionism. Throughout his career, Dine’s art has remained deeply personal, with recurring motifs—such as hearts and robes—serving as symbolic totems tied to his own experiences and emotions. His works have been showcased in major cities worldwide, including New York, London, Paris, Berlin, Stockholm, Brussels, and Los Angeles. Today, Dine’s pieces regularly fetch six-figure sums on the secondary market and are part of prestigious collections, including the Art Institute of Chicago, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Centre Pompidou, the Museum of Modern Art, the Tate, the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, and the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.
