BOSTON PRINTMAKERS: NORTH AMERICAN PRINT BIENNIAL 2011
Juried by artist Jim Dine

February 27, 2011 – May 1, 2011

The Boston Printmakers 2011 North American Print Biennial garnered a record number of entries with 811 artists submitting 2,064 works. Distinguished Juror Jim Dine did a wonderful job of deliberating over the high-quality accumulation of images, finally paring the show down to 149 prints, print constructions and artists
books. We are extremely pleased with the exhibition's artistic excellence, range of subject matter, and diversity of techniques. We'd like to thank all of the artists who participated in the call for entries and contributed to the making of such a competitive selection process.
Jim Dine is a well-known contemporary painter and printmaker. He is associated with two prominent movements in American Art—as a creator of Happenings with Allan Kaprow, Claes Oldenburg, and Robert Whitman and with the development of Pop art in the early 1960s. He has had a major retrospective at the Whitney Museum of American Art, a print retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art, and many solo museum exhibitions in Europe and the United States. The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston is the home of an extensive Jim Dine print archive, a promised gift of the artist.
