The artist and poet Jim Dine is joined in conversation by Freyda Spira, the Robert L. Solley Curator of Prints and Drawings, along with the Yale-educated printmaker Daniel Clark, Dine’s longtime collaborator. The discussion centers on the current installation Jim Dine “This is Me,” a selection of works on paper from Dine’s larger gift to the museum, and explores the artist’s long, varied, and incredibly productive career, with a special focus on his forays into the collaborative process of printmaking. Introduction by Stephanie Wiles, the Henry J. Heinz II Director. Generously sponsored by the Martin A. Ryerson Lectureship Fund.
