Jim Dine: Prints - A Catalogue Raisonne 1985-2000 @ amazon.co.uk (direct link to book)

I put off getting this for years. Not because I fell out of love with Jim Dine's work, but it was the expense of it. I was invariably skint and couldn't really afford it so it's only now I've been able to find the £100 extra or so to finance it. But boy it's worth it.

I also purchased a 2nd copy recently at amazon.com (direct link to book). Had to wait a little while for it from the States to the UK but the one I got was a bit less and a bit scruffy but I knew that before buying.

Published to coincide with the 2002 exhibition at The Minneapolis Institute of Arts, it documents a crucial period in his career, the prints between 1985 and 2000 which, for me, haven't been surpassed. At 250 odd pages it's substantial with reproductions and details of nearly 200 prints. There are also informative essays, selected exhibition history, glossary of printmaking terms, selected print bibliography, index of print titles, and general index.

Sorted.
