Jim Dine's 'A Day Longer' at Galerie Templon: A Retrospective of New Works
Born in Cincinnati in 1935, Jim Dine stands out as a prominent figure in American art, celebrated for his fusion of painted canvases with common objects during the Pop Art movement. In early 2020, a retrospective showcasing his work took place at Il Palazzo delle Esposizioni in Rome. He also opened the Fondation Helenis GGL in Montpellier, featuring 'Faire danser le plafond,' a ceiling installation for a 17th-century manor. Nearing 85, Dine wrapped up 2020 with a solo exhibition titled 'A Day Longer' at Galerie Templon, which includes six large-scale paintings and anthropomorphic sculptures, running until December 24 at the renovated Rue Beaubourg venue. He expresses his dedication to art, saying, "Being an artist is all I've ever wanted to do."
