The word love was of great spiritual significance to self-proclaimed painter of signs, American artist Robert Indiana. His image LOVE was first created in 1964, in the form of a card which he sent to several friends and acquaintances in the art world before embarking on a series of paintings and sculptures starting in 1965 and 1966.
By 1966, Indiana had his third solo exhibition at Stable Gallery, New York, where he exhibited a collection of LOVE paintings that varied in colour and layout, alongside his first LOVE sculpture. With their clear design and hard-edged colour, they gained much critical praise, and the ‘Love Generation’ adopted Indiana’s design as their own emblem.
