Description
In 1966, American pop artist Robert Indiana (1928-2018) created a "LOVE" series which would become one of his most iconic and recognizable works to date. The image of the word "LOVE" was arranged in a square, with "LO" stacked above "VE", with a tilted letter "O". In 1965, The Museum of Modern Art selected "LOVE" for its Christmas card and the work quickly became emblematic of the "Love Generation". In 1973, the United States Postal Service reproduced the image to be used on a stamp and the popularity of the image used in countless iterations since emphasizes how it continues to resonate with audiences. In 2008, Robert Indiana felt the messaging should read "HOPE", so he created a series of sculptures, paintings and prints based on the word. “I wanted to help name and empower the next generation and I felt that HOPE encompassed the needs of our time" stated the artist. It has been 12 years since he created the work and though times have changed drastically, we continue as a world to believe in both HOPE and LOVE.
