About the Item
Robert Indiana’s "Book of Love" is a multifaceted portfolio that pairs twelve vibrant screenprints with twelve accompanying poems, forming a deeply personal meditation on the nature and experience of love. Completed in 1996, the complete portfolio reflects Indiana’s signature Pop Art style using bold colors, crisp typography, and simplified forms while extending his iconic "LOVE" motif into a more intimate and poetic realm. Each screen print incorporates variations on the word "LOVE," rendered in striking color combinations, and each is paired with a typed poem that delves into emotional states ranging from longing and nostalgia to desire and loss. The juxtaposition of visual and textual elements reveals Indiana’s dual identity as both a visual artist and a poet, offering insight into his internal life and commentary on broader cultural interpretations of love. The portfolio’s presentation are twelve prints and twelve poems within a custom box which echoes the structure of a traditional book, yet each piece stands on its own as a complete work. This synthesis of image and word underscores the universality of love while also situating it in Indiana’s personal mythology.

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.
