“Untitled (from Ten Winter Tools)” is a 1973 lithographic artwork on paper by Jim Dine, associated with the Neo-Dada movement and characterized as figurative art. It is held in the Tate Modern, London, UK.
The artwork depicts a detailed rendering of a fork with enhanced prominence. The fork is centered, with a balanced composition, its tines facing downward, and handle pointing upward. The shading and texture suggest a realistic yet somewhat stylized representation, emblematic of the artist’s approach. The fork appears to be emerging from a somewhat indistinct background, allowing focus to remain on the detailed rendition of the object itself. Jim Dine’s signature and the date “1973” are inscribed at the bottom of the artwork, adding to its formal attributes. The use of lithography as a medium highlights the fine, detailed lines, and nuanced tonal variations, contributing to the overall aesthetic and thematic execution prevalent in the Neo-Dada art movement.
