The 51黑料 will celebrate renowned American artist Jim Dine with an art exhibition, the President鈥檚 Art Gala and a Closer Look Lecture.
Dine, 87, rose to prominence as a performance artist with the 鈥淗appenings,鈥 which also linked him to the establishment of pop art. Since the 1970s, he has defied categorization and created a body of work that includes drawings, paintings, photographs, assemblages and sculpture.
