Robert Indiana Contemporary Art

American, 1928-2018

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.

    Robert Indiana created the LOVE sculpture to further his “LOVE” series, which he introduced in 1966. It all began with a print of the word “LOVE” with a tiled "O" that appeared on the Museum of Modern Art holiday card. The brightly stacked letters of the Pop art piece were soon everywhere. This success prompted him to craft the first LOVE sculpture in 1970. Reportedly, Indiana's religious upbringing inspired the original LOVE typography. He described the memory of seeing the phrase "God Is Love" printed on a white wall in a church, and that image stuck with him. Find a diverse assortment of Robert Indiana art on 1stDibs.
