In the galleries and on the grounds, this exhibition highlights Jim
Dine’s recent sculptural works. The main galleries will be devoted
to several themes—the artist’s Heart and Venus works, Gardening
and Carpentry Tool imagery, and recent Pinocchio sculptures.
Several major sculptural works will be installed outdoors in the
Museum’s 145-acre sculpture park and wilderness refuge.
The second floor of the Museum will be devoted to Dine’s
Pinocchio prints. The impressive Pinocchio series, also used as
illustrations to a new translation of Carlo Collodi’s original
Pinnochio story, consists of 40 lithographs. This book concludes
with a tribute by Dine to the adventure of the wooden boy, “In
the end it is his great heart that holds me.”

His students – along with the viewer -- learn that artistic effort is not geared toward

understanding that is both liberating and fortifying and designed to enable the
student to look and to see.

Benefactors DinnerThe 2011 Benefactors Dinner offered supporters the opportunity to socialize with one of the museum’s favorite artists — Red Grooms.
The cocktail party was held at 57th Street’s Marlborough Gallery which was exhibiting Red Grooms, New York 1976-2011, a
retrospective of Grooms’ work. Following this elegant party set against the whimsy of Grooms paintings, benefactors went on to dine at
the Harmonie Club, one of New York’s most venerable private clubs. Each year, the Benefactors Dinner provides significant support for
the museum’s exhibitions and educational programs.
