Exhibition — Jim Dine: Sculpture March 31, 2012

Work by American artist Jim Dine, culled from a sculpture exhibition first organized by New York City’s Pace Gallery. Featured in the Nassau County Museum of Art showing are works based on Carlo Collodi’s novel, The Adventures of Pinocchio, including sculptures of the title character and a 40-piece print series illustrating Dines’ homage to the classic tale.
Jim Dine is one of the country’s best-known artists. He is regarded as one of the most consistently inventive artists to have emerged in the second half of the 20th century. A painter, sculptor and graphic artist, Dine’s art often incorporates images of everyday life, such as tools, rope, shoes, neckties and other articles of clothing.
