Jim Dine Croft

Small exhibition at the British Museum of work by the American painter and printmaker Jim Dine Croft who has donated a significant collection of his prints to museum in memory of Alan Cristea, the print dealer and publisher.

There were some lovely works including a delightful fine print of his second wife. I also liked “Cincinnati I” the names of people he remembered from his childhood presented like a wall of graffiti.

I liked the descriptions of how the works were produced and how the objects in the images such as the bathrobes were stand-ins for the artist described as “autobiography through objects”.
