About the Item

Robert Indiana LOVE (Official Artist Copyright and Foundation Stamp), 2011 Brushed Aluminum sculpture (Red) Stamped by artist's estate, Stamped "Authorized Replica/Robert Indiana/LOVE/Indianapolis Museum of Art/2011 Morgan Art Foundation/ARS, NY/All Rights Reserved" copyright Co-published by Morgan Art Foundation and Artist Rights Society, New York for the Indianapolis Museum of Art Also accompanied by gallery-issued COA Excellent condition. Makes a wonderful gift! This is a coveted official lifetime edition - created in Robert Indiana's lifetime with his express approval, copyright, foundation stamp and museum stamp Long sold out, highly collectible stamped Indianapolis Museum limited editions - one of the few authorized, official LOVE sculpture replicas. The red is an exact replica of the red sculpture in the permanent collection of the Museum. Also bears the artist copyright and Morgan Foundation stamp. Makes a memorable gift! On December 4, 2019 another edition of this work sold for $13,150 at Christie's in Paris. Christie's Paris: Wednesday, December 4, 2019 [Lot 00315] 13,150 USD Provenance Indianapolis Museum of Art, Indianapolis Collection privée, Europe Puis par descendance au propriétaire actuel The present work is a limited edition artist authorized, museum stamped and copyrighted replica of the Indianapolis Museum of Art's giant outdoor Cor-ten steel LOVE, by legendary artist Robert Indiana, translated into red brushed aluminum. The Red is one of the most desirable, as the monumental work in the Indianapolis' permanent collection is also Red, so this is the most faithful replica! These works were produced and sold in extremely limited quantities by the Indianapolis Museum of Art back in 2011 to raise funds for the museum and sold out almost immediately. The Museum then lost its copyright license and has never been allowed to make other editions. Thus these are one of a kind pieces of Pop Art history. Stamped and incised with the museum and artist copyright information, this authorized replica is now a highly desirable collectors' items. (NOT to be confused with the many unauthorized, unstamped replicas that alight across the Internet!) A miniature version of the red sculpture that sits on the grounds of the Indianapolis Museum of Art, Indiana, this brushed aluminum replica commemorates the artist most iconic design. Co-published by Morgan Art Foundation and Artist Rights Society, New York for the Indianapolis Museum of Art. NOTE: Only the AUTHORIZED replicas have the museum stamp. Beware of the many out there that don't. You're buying, and paying for, the one that was sold by the Indianapolis Museum of Art in collaboration with the Morgan Art Foundation. Done in an unnumbered limited edition; exact number unknown. More about Robert Indiana: Robert Indiana (born Robert Clark; September 13, 1928 – May 19, 2018) was an American artist associated with the pop art movement. His iconic image LOVE was first created in 1964 in the form of a card which he sent to several friends and acquaintances in the art world. In 1965, Robert Indiana was invited to propose an artwork to be featured on the Museum of Modern Art's annual Christmas card. Indiana submitted several 12” square oil on canvas variations based on his LOVE image. The museum selected the most intense color combination in red, blue, and green. It became one of the most popular cards the museum has ever offered. Indiana continued to develop his LOVE series, and in 1966, worked with Marian Goodman of Multiples, Inc. to make his first LOVE sculpture in aluminum. In 1970, Indiana completed his first monumental LOVE sculpture in Cor-Ten steel which is in the collection of the Indianapolis Museum of Art. In addition to being a painter and sculptor, Indiana made posters and prints and also designed stage sets and costumes for the Virgil Thompson and Gertrude Stein opera The Mother of Us All. Indiana's artwork has been featured in numerous exhibitions around the world and is included in the permanent collections of many major museums including the Museum of Modern Art, New York; Tate Modern, London; and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.

Robert Indiana LOVE (Sculpture Stamped with Indianapolis Museum and Artist Stamp), 2009 Brushed Aluminum (Gold) Stamped with Artist's Copyright & Indianapolis Museum of Art/2011 Morgan Art Foundation/ARS, NY Stamped/incised w/text: "Authorized Replica/Robert Indiana/LOVE/Indianapolis Museum of Art/2011 Morgan Art Foundation/ARS, NY 3 × 3 × 1 1/2 inches Unframed Since first appearing on the Museum of Modern Art’s 1965 Christmas card, Robert Indiana’s “LOVE” quickly permeated the popular imagination, appearing everywhere from life-size sculptures to government-issued stamps. The design’s appeal was timeless, yet also emblematic of the idealistic and free-loving 1960s. As art legend has it, Indiana was first bemused and later conflicted about the instant runaway success of his design, worried that it may have ruined his reputation among the art world elite as a one-hit wonder. Despite the artist’s private insecurities, “LOVE” remains one of the most treasured works in 20th-century American sculpture—breaking $4.1 million at auction in 2011. Another edition from this authorized, artist approved series recently sold at Christie's in Paris for over $12,000.
