Jim Dine is a well-known contemporary painter and printmaker. He is associated with two prominent movements in American Art—as a creator of Happenings with Allan Kaprow, Claes Oldenburg, and Robert Whitman and with the development of Pop art in the early 1960s. He has had a major retrospective at the Whitney Museum of American Art, a print retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art, and many solo museum exhibitions in Europe and the United States. The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston is the home of an extensive Jim Dine print archive, a promised gift of the artist.
