Etching and aquatint in colors on Zerkall White paper, signed in pencil, dated - Published/printed by Gesselschaft der Freunde der Albertina/Werkstatt für Handgedrcukte Original-Graphik, Vienna - Plate 17 7/8 x 12 3/16in (45.4 x 31cm) - Sheet 26 13/16 x 21 1/16in (68.1 x 53.5cm) - Literature: Carpenter 33 // Jim Dine’s 'Albertina Venus' is a 1989 etching and aquatint on Zerkall White paper, depicting a classical, headless Venus statue rendered with expressive texture and vivid colors. The statue's rugged form, painted in bold shades of red, contrasts with the deep blue sky and dark grass at the base. Dine’s interpretation of the ancient Venus embraces both its timeless beauty and its worn, fractured appearance, evoking a sense of history and erosion. The etching showcases his mastery of combining classical themes with contemporary techniques, giving new life to the figure while maintaining a sense of reverence for the past.

What is Happening?
A Happening is a term used to describe artistic and theatrical events held by artists in the 1950s and 60s. These events were typically staged in gallery installations or planned environments and often involved audience participation, along with elements like lighting, sounds, and slide projections. Happenings were a precursor to performance art, which later included the active participation of the artists themselves.
