Lot Note:
Joel Grey was introduced to Jim Dine by his childhood friend R.B. Kitaj, forging a connection that blossomed into a lasting creative friendship. The two artists remained close, and Dine’s affection for Grey is evident in the deeply personal nature of the works he made for him. Nearly every piece by Dine in Grey’s collection bears a handwritten inscription or dedication, underscoring the intimacy of their bond.
Framed: 21 x 18 1/2 inches.
In overall very good condition. Some soiling, including fingerprints, and gentle creasing apparent, presumably in the making and due to light handling. Pinholes present at top left and right corners. Work was not examined out of frame.
