Pre-owned Tool Box #10 In Multi

American artist Jim Dine has often referred to tools as formative objects for him. In Tool Box #10, the tools symbolize the artist’s hand and the implements of craftsmanship, which Dine elevates in symbolic status. By combining found images with abstract color fields, Dine further aligns himself with the Neo-Dada school’s embrace of 'the object', emphasizing a uniquely personal image. Tool Box #10 is part of the print collection at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), the Harvard Art Museum, and the Tate London. | Tool Box #10, Medium
