THREE SHIPS - JIM DINE GEBUNDEN

This book explores the uncompromising processes of autobiographical excavation at the heart of
Jim Dine's art today. Here his focus lies on three self-reflective series from the past three
years  each in a different medium. In the self-portraits of Drawing the Minutes Dine less draws
with pencil on paper than carves into it  feverishly erasing and redrawing to create a shifting
typography of self and a study on the effects of time. The densely painted self-portraits of Me
comprising oils mixed with sawdust and sand deepen Dine's acts of looking out and in  each
layer of pigment a layer of self-knowledge. Finally we witness the monumental bronze sculptures
of Three Ships whose title references the ships that carried the relics of the Three Wise Men
on their final journey. Five years in the making  Dine's ships are dynamic masses studded with
branches  ropes and dozens of tools-one of his most beloved motifs  born from childhood hours
of intense observation spent in his grandfather's hardware store. Accompanied by short personal
texts by the artist and photos documenting him at work at the Kunstgiesserei St. Gallen foundry
Three Ships is a testament to Dine's vitality and transformative versatility-which sweep across
six decades and show no sign of abating.
