About the Item
Robert Indiana’s "Love is God" is a profound piece that reorients the relationship between the spiritual and the emotional. With visual clarity and philosophical depth, it invites contemplation on the sanctity of love and the possibility of finding divinity in human connection. Like much of Indiana’s work, it is accessible in form but layered in meaning—an emblem of Pop Art’s ability to transcend aesthetics and speak to the soul.
“Love is God" is a text-based artwork that continues the artist’s signature exploration of language, form, and spiritual themes. The words “LOVE IS GOD” are arranged with powerful symmetry, commanding immediate visual attention. The typography is clean and geometric, reflecting Indiana’s roots in American Pop Art and his fascination with the power of signs and commercial design.
"Love is God" reverses the common Christian adage “God is love,” challenging viewers to rethink the relationship between divine power and human emotion. Indiana, raised in a Christian Science household, frequently engaged with spiritual and moral themes. By stating that love itself is God, Indiana elevates human affection, connection, and compassion as sacred, possibly even more fundamental than institutional religion.
The visual uniformity and force of Indiana’s design magnify the message. The block lettering becomes a symbol in itself, stripped of ornamentation to focus attention solely on the content. The contrast in color and symmetry underscores the gravity of the message, while the clean lines and repetition are almost liturgical, inviting meditation.

Robert Indiana
Robert Indiana's work evolved into hard-edged graphic images of words, logos and typographic forms, earning him a reputation as one of the country's leading contemporary artists.
Indiana is known for using public signs and symbols with altered lettering to make stark and challenging visual statements. In his prints, paintings and constructions, he gave new meaning to basic words like Eat, Die and Love. Using them in bold block letters in vivid colors, he enticed his viewers to look at the commonplace from a new perspective. One indication of his success was the appearance of his immensely popular multi-colored Love on a United States postage stamp in 1973.

By Robert Indiana
Located in New York, NY
Robert Indiana is one of the central figures of the Pop Art movement, taking his inspiration from commercial signs, claiming: “There are more signs than trees in America. There are more signs than leaves. So I think of myself as a painter of American landscape.” In his paintings, sculptures, and prints, he mimics and re-arranges the words and numbers of a myriad of signs, including the Phillips 66 gas station logo and the “Yield” traffic sign. He is most famous for his “LOVE” paintings and sculptures, first produced in the 1960s. The series has become a global phenomenon with instantly recognizable motif. Creating a block out of the word—with the “L” and the “O” set atop the “V” and the “E”—Indiana has effectively woven his artwork into the history of contemporary art...
