The exhibition layout will essentially follow a form of chronological order with approximately 60 works dating from 1959 to the 2000s, a substantial number of them belonging to the collection that the artist himself recently donated to the Musée national d’art moderne – Centre George Pompidou in Paris. Alongside these exhibits, however, the exhibition will also be hosting loans from leading international collections to provide visitors with a comprehensive overview of some of the more salient moments in Jim Dine's career, including his photographic documentation of Happenings in the 1960s and his paintings from the early '60s, some of which were shown at the celebrated 1964 Venice Biennale, other paintings and sculptures in which Dine has imbued everyday objects and tools with the value of iconic images, and his more recent sculptures such as those devoted to the personality of Pinocchio – a figure who, in Jim Dine's mind, embodies the marvellous and ancient metamorphosis of the amorphous coming to life.
