For over five decades, Dine has explored ordinary objects and motifs such as hearts, skulls, and robes, in his exploration of body, memory, and self. Dine has been the subject of nine major surveys and retrospectives since 1970, including *Jim Dine, Some Drawings*, organized by the Allen Memorial Art Museum (2005–2007); *Drawings of Jim Dine*, a major traveling retrospective organized by the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C. (2004); *Jim Dine: Walking Memory 1959–1969*, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, NY (1999); *Jim Dine*, Isetan Museum, Tokyo (1990–91); *Jim Dine: Five Themes*, the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis (1984–85); and *Jim Dine*, Whitney Museum of American Art, NY (1970). In 2011, the artist’s first major retrospective devoted to sculpture opened at the Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park in Grand Rapids, Michigan. It subsequently traveled to the Kennedy Museum of Art in Athens, Ohio as *Jim Dine: Sculpture and Large Prints* and to Nassau County Museum of Art, Roslyn Harbor, New York as *Sculpture/Jim Dine/Pinocchio* in 2012. *David Grosz* is Managing Partner/Editor in Chief of Artifex Press<http://www.artifexpress.com/>, a publisher of digital catalogues raisonnés and a developer of catalogue raisonné software (patent-pending).
