Jim Dine may be best known for his prints, paintings and sculptural works - and for being one of the founders of Pop art - but he has also been making photographs since 1996. Most of the photographs are set up in the studio.

Often featuring multiple exposures, Gothic imagery and automatic-writing-like text, they tend to convey a tinge of Surrealism. Dine has said about his practice, "I don't use Photoshop with all the things you can do. I photograph and then I preview. I preview all day until I get it right, but I get it right by changing the objects."

For this volume, which proved eye-opening even to Dine's most familiar fans, the artist selected a group of self-portraits, portraits he has taken of friends and relatives - both alive and dead - and reimagined portraits of the fictional character Pinocchio.
