Pinocchio Art
On May 16, 2008, Jim Dine formally presented a nine meter high bronze statue depicting a walking Pinocchio, named Walking to Borås to the city of Borås, Sweden.
Dine previously worked on a commercial book, paintings, and sculptures that focused on Pinocchio. He feels that "the idea of a talking stick becoming a boy like a metaphor for art, and it’s the ultimate alchemical transformation."
