Woodcut, on wove paper. Printed by Jack Shirreff at 107 Workshop, Wiltshire, the edition was published by Pace Gallery, New York, Literature: D’Oench and Feinberg 162. Double Venus Woodcut II (1984) by Jim Dine is a striking black-and-white woodcut portraying two headless classical female figures, wrapped in flowing drapery. The work echoes ancient Greco-Roman sculpture, but through Dine’s raw, tactile carving, the forms become haunting and contemporary. The vigorous marks etched into the woodblock emphasize both the vulnerability and monumentality of the figures. As a printer’s proof aside from the edition of 36, this piece, printed by Jack Shirreff at 107 Workshop, reflects Dine’s continued engagement with classical motifs, reinterpreted through a modern, expressive printmaking process that emphasizes texture, decay, and timeless beauty.

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.
