About the Item
This piece is from the LOVE rugs series by Robert Indiana, issued by Galerie f in 2007. This rug is an editioned, hand-carded carpet by Robert Indiana. The 'Love' rug series by Robert Indiana are executed by using hand tufting, which is an ancient technique. Until the advent of synthetic and natural latex, which is used to bind the reverse, hand-tufting was previously only done in loop format.
For the Limited edition Love Rugs, the yarn has been selected using only 100% Indian wool. We select the best Indian wool available. The limited-edition Love rugs are hand-made in the holy Indian city of Varanasi. Original label by Galerie-f and numbered on the verso. Edition no. 282/10000.
Invited by MoMA in New York in 1964 to design a Christmas card, Robert Indiana chose the word “LOVE”, taking inspiration from the church’s signs, displaying the sentence “God is Love”. Excerpting only the word “LOVE”, Indiana tilts the vowel O so to represent the instability of human love. For the Christmas print, Indiana produced the popular design highly known today: the characters L, O, V, and E rendered in a serif typeface are stacked atop one another. The bold red letters stand out against a backdrop alternating bright blue and green. As paired with the curiously tilted O, this color palette implies a sort of playfulness that was making the print immediately recognizable. And the work was a great success, which makes this logo one of the most reproduced and imitated in contemporary art history.
While many people would assume that LOVE was inspired by romantic love, its conception was mostly the product of Indiana’s religious inspiration that was originally springing from the Christmas cards project. This logo would subsequently play a pivotal role in Indiana’s career, being the seed for his LOVE print and a series of sculptures and paintings.

Robert Indiana
Robert Indiana's work evolved into hard-edged graphic images of words, logos and typographic forms, earning him a reputation as one of the country's leading contemporary artists.
Indiana is known for using public signs and symbols with altered lettering to make stark and challenging visual statements. In his prints, paintings and constructions, he gave new meaning to basic words like Eat, Die and Love. Using them in bold block letters in vivid colors, he enticed his viewers to look at the commonplace from a new perspective. One indication of his success was the appearance of his immensely popular multi-colored Love on a United States postage stamp in 1973.
