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 pop-art?
Pop Art is an art movement that began in Britain in 1955 and in the late 1950s in the U.S. It challenged traditional fine arts by incorporating imagery from popular culture, such as news, advertising, and comic books. Pop Art often isolates and recontextualizes materials, combining them with unrelated elements. The movement is more about the attitudes and ideas that inspired it than the specific art itself. Pop Art is seen as a reaction against the dominant ideas of Abstract Expressionism, bringing everyday consumer culture into the realm of fine art.
