About the Item
Screenprint in colours, 1982, on Fabriano paper, signed, dated, titled, and inscribed ‘AP’ in pencil, one of 15 numbered artist's proofs, aside from the edition of 100, printed by Domberger KG, Filderstadt, with the blind stamp, published by Prestige Art Limited, Mamaroneck, New York, 68 x 68 cm. (26¾ x 26¾ in.)
‘A Garden of Love’ comprises of six colour variations of Robert Indiana’s emblematic, square ‘LOVE’ composition. ‘LOVE’ is one of the most recognisable images of the American Pop Art movement and was a pioneering piece of hard-edged abstraction - an approach to painting that became widespread in the 1960s and is characterised by areas of flat colour with sharp, clear (or ‘hard’) edges. ‘A Garden of Love’ is just one of a number of adaptions of the original 1964 design. ‘LOVE’ has been translated into different languages, alphabets, and mediums – most famously into a series of vibrant, large scale public sculptures.
First created in 1964 for the Museum of Modern Art’s Christmas card that year, ‘LOVE’ quickly became the most popular greetings card the museum had ever produced and was later adapted for the design for a national stamp. The straightforward and socio-political overtones of the message of ‘LOVE’, are irrevocably emblematic of 1960s optimism and even became associated with the anti-war movement in America during this time which Indiana strongly supported. The artist makes reference to the ‘flower power’ generation, from which the concept of ‘LOVE’ first sprang, by naming each of the colour variations in ‘A Garden of Love’ after a type of flower: Tulip, Lily, Zinnia, Rose, Phlox and Lilac.

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.

Over a period of four years, Stella created a body of prints whose titles all came from ‘The Dictionary of Imaginary Places’ by Alberto Mangual and Gianni Guadalupi. Each work from this series is recognisable for its teaming compositions of twisting, colliding and knotted forms. The shapes appear to spill out of their sheet, seemingly trying to escape their frames. As he had done since the ‘Swan Engravings...
