Episode 10
Tuesday, 26 November, 2024
The tenth episode of Making a Mark explores Jim Dine’s (b. 1935) lifelong relationship with hand-tools. Tools have been a constant for the artist, not only as implements used to mark his plates and blocks, but also as ‘objects of desire,’ appearing as subject matter in his art for over six decades. We meet Jim Dine in his studio in Paris, where he discusses the first print he ever made aged 17 years old in his grandfather’s basement using a piece of wood and chisel. From tracing his early interactions with tools, to introducing new monumental woodcut prints depicting hammers, Dine also talks about the various printers he has worked with including the late Aldo Crommelynck and Kurt Zein. Contributors include master printer Julia D’Amario, an etching printer who has worked with Dine since the 1990s, and gallery founder and co-director Alan Cristea, who describes the works and ideas of an artist that he first met 45 years ago and whose achievements in printmaking remain unparalleled today. Presented by writer and critic, Charlotte Mullins.
