About the Item

8 x 10" vintage silver gelatin photograph of artist Robert Indiana posing in his studio with his famous LOVE sculpture, 1969.. This is a print that was published by the New York Times which they used to scan and then returned to Jack. The rear usually has notations or stamps that authenticate its vintage. Comes directly from the Jack Mitchell Archives with a certificate of authenticity. Jack Mitchell, (1925-2013) bulging photographic portfolio of actors, writers, painters, musicians and especially dancers describes a pictorial history of the arts in the late 20th century. Mr. Mitchell, who took hundreds of pictures for The New York Times, was both a portraitist and a capturer of complex motion. An expert in lighting, he worked mostly, though not entirely, in black and white, and he was known — by his subjects, by the magazine and newspaper editors he worked for, and by critics — as someone who could make a photograph reveal character. Jack Mitchell was the official photographer for the American Ballet Theater, and he chronicled the work of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater for more than thirty years. When he retired in 1995, he had fulfilled more than 5,000 assignments in black and white, and nearly a thousand in color. He photographed more than 160 covers for Dance magazine, and his photos have appeared in Time, Life, Newsweek, Rolling Stone, Vanity Fair, Vogue and many other publications. Mitchell’s photographs are in the collections of the National Portrait Gallery, the Museum of African American History and Culture, and the Smithsonian Archives of American Art, among others. The 2019 USPS Black Heritage postage stamp honoring American performer Gregory Hines was made from a Jack Mitchell photograph, and a Jack Mitchell photograph of Audre Lorde was transformed into a huge glass mosaic as a permanent installation at the 167th Street MTA subway station in NYC.

LOVE (Plate 4) /// Pop Art Robert Indiana Screenprint Post-War New York Minimal
By Robert Indiana
Located in Saint Augustine, FL
Artist: Robert Indiana (American, 1928-2018) Title: "LOVE (Plate 4)" Portfolio: Book of Love *Signed and dated by Indiana in pencil lower right Year: 1996 Medium: Original Screenprint on A.N.W. Crestwood Museum Edition paper Limited edition: 75/200, (there were also 50 impressions in roman numerals) Printer: Freeman Burks of American Image Editions, New York, NY Publisher: Michael McKenzie of American Image Editions, New York, NY Framing: Framed in a contemporary silver moulding and silver filet with white cotton rag matting Framed size: 32.13" x 30.63" Sheet size: 24" x 20" Image size: 18.19" x 18" Condition: Minor cosmetic wear to frame. In excellent condition Notes: Provenance: private collection - Cincinnati, OH. Numbered by Indiana in pencil lower left. Comes from Indiana's 1996 "Book of Love" portfolio of twelve screenprints of the same image in various colors, originally issued in a black-lettered brown paper-covered folio with accompanying twelve poems. Besides the Arabic and Roman numeral editions, there were also 15 artist's proofs. Technical Director: Peter Engert; Plate Maker: James Harvey; Counsel: Gregory S. Smith, Esq.; Fabricator: Al Hirshson; and Die Maker: York Display. Printed in three colors: white, gray, and dark gray. The "Book of Love" project was conceived by the artist as a portfolio that would make a definitive statement on his masterpiece "LOVE", fulfilling his original vision as both a poet and a painter. The prints in the portfolio were created by Indiana as illustrations for his own love poems, written circa 1958-1973. The prints were produced in silkscreen using oil based paints on a newly created fine art paper that he found perfect for rendering "LOVE", which demands a precise line and radiant true color. The poems each have a highly raised embossment of "LOVE", trapped in colors, just below the title. Each print is hand pencil signed, and each poem hand pencil initialed by the artist.
