About the Item

Robert Indiana HOPE, 2008 Oil silkscreen in colors on watermarked Coventry archival paper 25 × 19 inches Edition 138/200 Signed, dated and numbered 138/200 in graphite pencil on the front; paper is watermarked by AIA with text (There were also 25 Artist's Proofs) Published by American Image Art (AIA) for the Obama Victory Fund and the Democratic National Committee, master printer Gary Lichtenstein Unframed This work was published in 2008 as part of the "Artists for Obama" portfolio, in which some of the top artists contributed prints to raise money for Obama's presidential campaign. Robert Indiana donated all of the proceeds of the sale of this work to electing Barack Obama. During the 2020 election, it became an even greater part of American popular culture when it was featured on the influential NBC show Saturday Night Live's cold open skit featuring the Vice Presidential debate between Kamala Harris and Mike Pence. Mid-debate, "Joe Biden" (played by actor Jim Carrey), watching from his living room sofa and eager to help out, leaps up from his chair and asks his doctor to teleport him to the debate - where he lands, inadvertently, as the famous fly that stayed on Mike Pence's head. On the wall behind Biden's "doctor", in clear view, is an edition of this work: Robert Indiana's 2008 silkscreen HOPE. (Quite the conversation piece!) For reference is a photograph of Robert Indiana signing the edition, as well as images of the Saturday Night Live Cold Open.

Hope Wall, Silkscreen signed Proof No. IV of IV, scarce Robert Indiana print
By Robert Indiana
Located in New York, NY
ROBERT INDIANA Hope Wall, 2010 Silkscreen on wove paper 24 × 25 inches Edition IV/IV (aside from the regular edition of 33) Hand signed, numbered IV/IV and dated on lower front Unframed Robert Indiana created Hope Wall, or Wall of Hope in support of future president Barack Obama in 2008, and the print was published in 2010. This is an extremely rare Artist's Proof - one of only four in the world. It is pencil signed, dated and numbered IV of IV on the recto. The regular edition is only 33. Extremely scarce. This print has appeared on the market fewer than a handful of times over the past decade. “I’d like to cover the world with hope,” said Robert Indiana, the artist whose iconic “LOVE” series became a global symbol of unity during the turmoil of the 1960s. In 2008, Indiana felt the world was ready for a new message, and designed “HOPE” for Barack Obama’s presidential campaign. “I wanted to help name and empower the next generation and I felt that HOPE encompassed the needs of our time,” he said. With its forward-leaning O, “HOPE” symbolizes perseverance, and pushing ahead toward a brighter future. To coincide with the artist’s 86th birthday, the first annual “International Hope Day” launched on September 13, 2014 and included the public display of Indiana’s “HOPE” sculptures...
