About the Item
The 1977 "Milwaukee MECCA MECCA" poster by Robert Indiana is a bold tribute to the unique floor design of the Milwaukee Exposition Convention Center Arena (MECCA). Robert Indiana, a pivotal figure in the Pop Art movement, is best known for his "LOVE" series, and his work often explored themes of Americana and graphic art.
During the 1970s, there was a surge of interest in integrating modern art into public spaces, which is exemplified by Indiana’s MECCA court design. The MECCA Arena's court, with its bright yellow, red, and blue geometric shapes, was unlike any other in professional sports. It broke the conventional monotony of basketball courts and became a symbol of artistic innovation in sports.
The poster’s typography, featuring the repeated word "MECCA," is characteristic of Indiana’s fascination with language and repetition, emphasizing the importance of place and identity. This period saw a blending of sports, art, and public engagement, reflecting a broader cultural movement toward democratizing art and making it part of everyday life.
Indiana's work, including the "Milwaukee MECCA MECCA" poster, represents the intersection of art and urban culture, capturing the energy and optimism of the late 20th century. The poster not only celebrates the MECCA Arena's iconic court but also stands as a testament to the era’s innovative spirit in both art and design.

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.
