Robert Indiana was born in 1928 at New Castle, Indiana, as Robert Clark. Between 1945 and 1948 he studied at art schools in Indianapolis and Utica, and from 1949 to 1953 at the Chicago Art Institute School and the Skowhgan School of Painting and Sculpture, Maine. His early works were inspired by traffic signs, automatic amusement machines, commercial stencils and old tradenames. In the early sixties he did sculpture assemblages and developed his style of vivid color surfaces, involving letters, words and numbers leading to his infamous image of the word "LOVE." This image, first created for a Christmas card for the Museum of Modern Art in 1964, was included on an 8 cent United States Postal Service postage stamp in 1973, the first of their regular series of "love stamps." Several sculpture versions are on public display including "LOVE Park" in Philadelphia.

These original weavings by Robert Indiana are seminal icons of Pop Art and have been produced by the artist in conjunction with a master rug maker and dye chromist to achieve a timeless, museum quality standard. These fine works of art are hand signed by Robert Indiana and have been made of the finest materials available. Each is hand rendered, carved and hand finished to the artist’s uncompromising specifications.
