Jim Dine (b. 1935) was born in Cincinnati, OH and studied at the University of Cincinnati and the Boston Museum School prior to receiving his B.F.A. from Ohio University, Athens, where he later enrolled in graduate study. He moved to New York City in 1958, where he had his first group (1958) and solo (1960) exhibitions. Dine instantly became an active figure in the New York art world where he created and staged many of the first ''Happenings,'' along with artists Allan Kaprow, Red Grooms, Robert Whitman, and Claes Oldenburg. Since his first solo exhibition in 1960, Dine's paintings, sculptures, photography, and prints have been the subject of over 200 solo exhibitions worldwide, including over 20 solo exhibitions with the gallery since he began association with The Pace Gallery in 1976.
In addition to his upcoming exhibition at the National Gallery of Art, Dine has been the subject of four major surveys and retrospectives since 1970, including Jim Dine: Walking Memory 1959-1969, the Solomon R.
