Label copy

Jim Dine’s work from the 1960s imbued everyday objects with personal meaning. In 1964 he appropriated a bathrobe image from an advertisement in the New

York Times, using it as a symbolic self in a series of paintings that year and revisiting it frequently thereafter, as in this richly layered and sensuous print from the late 1970s.
