Commentary

Gallery label from In Tandem: Inspirations and Collaborations

As John Russell noted in his 1970 essay on Jim Dine, “A facet of Dine’s character which comes out in the graphic work is that he is an instinctive collaborator: a man of outgoing and communicative nature who is regalvanized by the idea of working with someone else.” Photographer Lee Friedlander was one of Dine’s many collaborators during his prolific career; together they created the portfolio Photographs and Etchings in 1969. “Lee Friedlander and I met in 1962. He gave me a photograph of Cincinnati without knowing that I am from there. We have been exchanging things all the time since then. Friendship and pictures. Our work is from the same house. He always understands my words,” Jim Dine wrote in the introduction to the portfolio. Beyond the product of their collaboration, the two artists’ friendship is also documented in a number of photographs Friedlander took of Dine, both in the United States and London, where Dine relocated to permanently in 1967.
