love and modern

Give LOVE to the one you LOVE! Robert Indiana’s iconic pop art sculpture is available here sized at 3.5 x 3 x 2 inches. Born Robert Clark in New Castle, Indiana, in 1928, he adopted the name of his native state as a pseudonymous surname early in his career. Indiana graduated from the Art Institute of Chicago in 1953, receiving a scholarship to the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in Maine. He attended the University of Edinburgh the following year on a George Brown Traveling Fellowship. After he finished school, Indiana lived and worked in New York City for many years. Today he lives on the island of Vinalhaven, off the coast of Maine. Conceived in a time when the United States was consumed by the Vietnam War, LOVE became a symbol for Peace. This famous sculpture is one of the most celebrated works within the pop art movement as well the art world as a whole. The iconography first appeared in a series of poems originally written in 1958, in which Indiana stacked LO and VE on top of one another. The first LOVE sculpture was carved out of a solid block of aluminum, highly unpolished, that the pop artist had made for a show at the Stable Gallery in 1966.
