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.
