Price On Request A preeminent figure in American art since the 1960s, Robert Indiana's highly original body of work includes some of the most recognizable images in contemporary culture.Born Robert Clark in New Castle, Indiana, Robert moved to New York City in 1954 and took the name of his home state. Fittingly, his work explores the American identity, personal history and the power of words and language, a concept that inspired the infamous LOVE image commissioned by the Museum of Modern Art as their 1965 Christmas card. Adopted as an emblem of the love generation of the 1960s, the image proliferated and was reproduced onto countless products, becoming an icon of modern art and emphasizing the universality of the subject.In addition to painting and sculpture, Indiana has produced a significant number of prints, collaborations, graphic posters and stage sets. Indiana played a central role in the development of assemblage and pop art and is widely considered one of the most creative artists of his generation. His work has been featured in numerous solo and group exhibitions around the world, and is included in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, the National Gallery of Art, the Smithsonian Museum of American Art in Washington, D.C., the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and the Israel Museum of Jerusalem, among many others.Serigraph in colors 59,5 x 59,5 in (151 x 151 cm)
