In Autumn 2001, Jim Dine worked with the printers at Tamarind Institute in Albuquerque to create a series of lithographs. These were part of a collaboration with poet Robert Creeley for the book “Pictures”, which contains ten poems and twelve images.
The book is hand-bound with a slipcase
and was printed in an edition of 40
by Erika Adams, Bill Lagattuta,
Sarah Dudley, and Ernestine White.
Page size, 30 cm by 22 cm.

Funded by the Trust for Mutual Understanding, the Connections project brought together six artists from former Yugoslavian republics to encourage meaningful dialogue that promotes understanding and cooperation among different ethnic groups.
In June 2002, the artists were in residence at Tamarind Institute and collaborated with printers Valle Baranda-Ferrero, Sarah Dudley, Rodney Hamon, Bill Lagattuta, Erin Maurelli and Ulrich Kühle.
Choosing to leave the war behind them, each artist created a series of images reflecting their personal interests and vision.
