Jim Dine's graphic oeuvre showcased in first French museum retrospective
At 72, Jim Dine receives his first major French museum exhibition this spring, 'L'Odyssée de Jim Dine' (curated by Caroline Joubert). The show features 150 prints from 1985 to 2006, many large-format, highlighting the lesser-known graphic side of his work. Held at the Musée des beaux-arts in Caen (16 March–11 June 2007) and BNF – Site Richelieu in Paris (24 April–17 June 2007), the exhibition underscores Dine's significant contribution to the renewal of printmaking.
