Edition of 100 - Original lithograph on paper - Suite: Ten Winter Tools - In excellent condition // Awl by Jim Dine, from the Ten Winter Tools series created in 1973, is a minimalist lithograph that spotlights a single, upright awl centered within a softly textured, shadowy background. The tool stands isolated, with careful shading and a sense of depth that elevates its form from mere functionality to an object of aesthetic focus. Dine’s restrained use of grayscale tones and subtle detail draws attention to the craftsmanship and design of the tool, highlighting its shape and simplicity. By isolating an ordinary object in this way, Dine invites viewers to appreciate the elegance in everyday items, transforming a simple awl into an emblem of both utility and quiet beauty. Limited to an edition of 100, this piece exemplifies Dine's talent for imbuing common objects with presence and introspective significance.

What is appropriation?
Appropriation in art involves using pre-existing images or objects with little or no modification. This technique has played a significant role across various art forms, including visual arts, music, performance, and literature. In visual arts, appropriation refers to the practice of adopting, sampling, recycling, or borrowing elements—or even entire forms—of existing visual culture, integrating them into new works to create meaning or critique.
