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.”

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.
