Overview: This exhibition of 110 drawings by Jim Dine from around 1970 to the present constituted the first major retrospective of the artist‘s work in over 15 years. Executed on a variety of media, including paper, canvas, felt, and porcelain, the drawings depicted recurring themes in Dine‘s work such as tools, owls, the puppet Pinocchio, and studies of ancient sculpture.

On March 21 the artist discussed aspects of his work with exhibition curator Judith Brodie in a lecture program, "Conversations with Artists: Jim Dine."

Organization: The exhibition was organized by the National Gallery of Art, Washington. Judith Brodie, curator of modern prints and drawings, was the curator.
