Robert Indiana was an American artist closely associated with the Pop Art movement, best known for his bold graphic style and use of simple, universally recognizable words and symbols. Born in 1928 in New Castle, Indiana, he drew inspiration from commercial signage, road signs, and industrial typography, transforming everyday visual language into powerful statements about love, identity, and American culture. Indiana’s work often balances bright color, clean geometry, and emotional resonance, allowing familiar imagery to carry layered personal and social meaning. Among his many contributions to contemporary art, the word LOVE stands as his most enduring and iconic motif.
LOVE (RED/BLUE/GREEN), 1996, exemplifies Indiana’s signature design through its compact, square composition and vivid color contrasts. Executed in paint on aluminum and measuring 26 x 26 inches (66 x 66 cm), the work presents the tilted “O” and stacked letters that have become instantly recognizable worldwide. Produced in a limited edition of five, the piece is signed and dated on the verso, with “R Indiana” incised on the side, underscoring its authenticity and sculptural presence. By rendering the universally charged word “LOVE” in bold primary colors and industrial materials, Indiana elevates a simple term into a timeless symbol that bridges popular culture, personal emotion, and modern design.
