Storm of Memory celebrates 25 years of Jim Dine’s ongoing residency in Göttingen and productive friendship with his printer and publisher Gerhard Steidl.
Dine’s eclectic choice of subject and media for the book reflects what he calls “the climate of everything possible here with Gerhard S.” Works include “Elysian Fields,” a series of grand plaster heads inspired by antiquity and “lost friends and fragments of my life”; “The Secret Drawings,” majestic, dark, vibrating, abstract with hints of figuration; prints of his beloved motifs Pinocchio, hearts, bathrobes, tools and classical torsos; and photo documentation of “Poet Singing (The Flowering Sheets),” Dine’s site-specific installation at Kunsthaus Göttingen of handwritten poetry, sculpture and self-portraiture.
Published to coincide with Dine’s 88th birthday on 16 June 2023 and the opening of his exhibition of the same name at the Kunsthaus, Storm of Memory chronicles the restless present of his nearly seven-decade career and underlines the roles Göttingen and Steidl have played as a crucible for his creativity.
