Literature: - Sheehan, Susan. Robert Indiana Prints: A Catalogue Raisonné 1951-1991. New York: Susan Sheehan Gallery, 1991, no. 90. Robert Indiana is most famous for his iconic “LOVE” image, which has appeared across media including sculptures, prints, and paintings and epitomizes the artist’s graphic, predominantly text-based Pop art practice. Throughout his career, Indiana reconfigured the aesthetics of American advertisements, slogans, and commercial logos into bright, pared-down works that comment on national identity and the power of language. Indiana studied at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in Maine, and Edinburgh College of Art in Scotland before moving to New York and becoming involved with avant-garde artists including Ellsworth Kelly and Agnes Martin. His paintings and sculptures regularly sell for seven figures on the secondary market. Indiana’s work has been exhibited in New York, London, Paris, Berlin, Tokyo, and Zürich, among other cities, and belongs in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Stedelijk Museum, the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.

  • Heliotherapy Love
    By Robert Indiana
    Located in Hollywood, FL
    Artist: Robert Indiana Title: Heliotherapy Love Medium: Screenprint on Lenox Museum Board Size: 39 x 39" Framed Size: 41 x 41" Edition: 258 of 300 Year: 1995 Notes: Signed and dated in pencil "R Indiana '95" lower right; numbered in pencil lower left; stamped on the verso in back ink: "PRINTED AT BRAND X EDITIONS". Published by Donald J. Christal, Los Angeles, CA. Artwork shows no apparent condition issues. Custom framed in black, gallery frame. Robert Indiana (1928-2018) was a pre-eminent figure of American Pop art best known for his masterpiece, the iconic "LOVE". Indiana's signature style was influenced by Pop Art and Hard-Edged painting. His oeuvre consists of bold, simple subjects including numbers, symbols, or capitalized short words (i.e. EAT, HUG, LOVE) executed in vivid primary colors. Inspired by the mythology of the American dream, Indiana engaged with everyday objects, words, symbols, and commercial graphic designs (like logos) and quickly became associated with the Pop Art movement. Indiana's first solo show took place in 1962 at the Stable Gallery in New York, the same gallery that hosted Andy Warhol's first solo show. Indiana's most iconic creation is "LOVE". It consists of four capitalized letters in a bold Didone font. The letter "O" is slanted sideways transforming its oblong, negative center space into a shape directing the eye towards the "V". "LOVE" marked Indiana's return to both single-word text art and the use of a quartered, structured canvas after several years of focusing on circular compositions. As for the origins of the work, Indiana was inspired by the green and red of the Phillips 66...
