Robert Indiana
Love is God

About the Item

God is Love, 2014 # 22 From the Edition of 25 Screen Print in 18 colors Signed, dated and numbered Image size 64 x 64 inches Full sheet size 84 x 84 inches Measurements taken from top to bottom in the diamond shape Published by Gary Lichtenstein Editions at MANA, New Jersey One of the preeminent figures in American art since the 1960s, Robert Indiana played a central role in the development of assemblage art, hard-edge painting, and Pop art. Indiana, a self proclaimed “American painter of signs,” created a highly original body of work that explores American identity, personal history, and the power of abstraction and language, establishing an important legacy that resonates in the work of many contemporary artists who make the written word a central element of their oeuvre. Indiana's Love Is God piece bears no resemblance to his iconic LOVE sculptures that the artist is best known for. However, it rooted the concept of love into Robert’s brain. It is the second piece of Robert’s that included the word love. The first being 4-Star Love from 1961, a monochrome red piece that has two stars stacked on top of two more stars with “LOVE” spelled out at the bottom.[5] Although 4-Star Love came first, Indiana wrote a letter to Larry in 1973 stating, “it was really the special work that you commissioned for the opening of the ‘Old Hundred,’ Love Is God, that really set off the long chain that 'LOVE' has become.” Larry and Indiana maintained a friendship and wrote letters back and forth for many years. Indiana sent Larry and Wynn Aldrich a postcard using one of the first “LOVE” stamps when they were released by the U.S. Postal Service. Robert Indiana was included in The Aldrich’s 30th and 50th anniversary exhibitions and remains an important artist in the Museum’s history. -Additional images available upon request
