Robert Indiana Art

American, 1928-2018

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.

Robert Indiana, Eternal Hexagon, from Ten Works by Ten Painters, 1964

By Robert Indiana

Located in Southampton, NY

This exquisite silkscreen by Robert Indiana (1928–2018), titled Eternal Hexagon, originates from the landmark 1964 folio X + X (Ten Works by Ten Painters). Published by the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art, Hartford, and printed by Sirocco Screenprints, Inc., North Haven, in Eternal Hexagon, Indiana channels the crisp geometry, hard-edged clarity, and bold typographic immediacy that define his mature style, merging symbolic abstraction with a visual language rooted in American signage, industrial aesthetics, and modernist form. Executed as a silkscreen on Mohawk Superfine Bristol paper, this work measures 20 x 24 inches. Unsigned and unnumbered as issued. Printed by Sirocco Screenprints, Inc., North Haven, one of the most capable American screenprinting ateliers of the mid-20th century. Artwork Details: Artist: Robert Indiana (1928–2018) Title: Eternal Hexagon, from X + X (Ten Works by Ten Painters), 1964 Medium: Silkscreen on Mohawk Superfine Bristol paper Dimensions: 20 x 24 inches (50.8 x 60.96 cm) Inscription: Unsigned and unnumbered as issued Date: 1964 Publisher: Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art, Hartford Printer: Sirocco Screenprints, Inc., North Haven Edition: D Catalogue raisonne reference: Sheehan, Susan, et al. Robert Indiana Prints: A Catalogue Raisonne, 1951–1991. Susan Sheehan Gallery, 1991, No. 33. Condition: Well preserved, consistent with age and medium Provenance: From the 1964 folio X + X (Ten Works by Ten Painters), published by the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art, Hartford Notes: Excerpted from the folio, This portfolio was commissioned and printed in an attempt to extend as much of the visual impact as possible of ten artists to paper and to make these prints available to collectors who might not otherwise have such a vivid slice of the artist. The dry surface of screening seemed to be most apt to translate the effect of their painting, both the flatness which is the unifying bond between the ten, and the insistance of paint on the surface of canvas so like the visible heft of ink on paper here. Samuel J. Wagstaff, Jr., Curator of Printings. About the Publication: X + X (Ten Works by Ten Painters), published in 1964 by the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art in Hartford, stands as one of the most ambitious and influential printmaking endeavors of postwar American art. Conceived under the direction of curator Samuel J. Wagstaff, Jr., the project sought to capture and translate the defining visual languages of ten leading American painters of the era—Stuart Davis, Ellsworth Kelly, Robert Indiana, Adolph Gottlieb, George Ortman, Larry Poons, Richard Anuszkiewicz, Frank Stella, Andy Warhol, and Roy Lichtenstein—into original silkscreens. Each artwork was created as an autonomous work that embodied the formal, chromatic, and conceptual principles of its respective artist. The choice of silkscreen printing, executed by Sirocco Screenprints, Inc., was central to the portfolio’s purpose: its dry, matte surface and capacity for crisp, saturated color allowed for a faithful translation of the painters’ flatness, surface tension, optical effects, and graphic precision. Organized and published by a major American museum at a moment of seismic change in contemporary art, X + X marked a turning point in institutional engagement with editioned works, representing one of the first concerted efforts by a museum to commission an ensemble of original graphics from the leading figures of its time. The portfolio captured the pulse of 1960s American painting—from Hard-Edge abstraction to Pop, Op, and Color Field—offering both a curated snapshot of artistic innovation and an accessible format that expanded the audience for contemporary art. Today, X + X is widely regarded as a landmark in American printmaking, celebrated for its curatorial vision, technical accomplishment, and its role in defining the dialogue between museum patronage and the burgeoning print culture of the 1960s. About the Artist: Robert Indiana (1928–2018) was a pioneering American painter, printmaker, and sculptor whose bold fusion of text, color, and hard edged geometry helped define Pop Art and positioned him within a powerful lineage extending from Pablo Picasso, Alexander Calder, Alberto Giacometti, Salvador Dali, Joan Miro, Wassily Kandinsky, Marcel Duchamp, and Man Ray, synthesizing the conceptual daring of early modernism with the visual immediacy of postwar American culture; emerging in 1960s New York as a leading voice of the Pop generation, Indiana transformed the language of commercial signage, roadside Americana, billboards, typography, and industrial stenciling into emotionally charged meditations on identity, patriotism, desire, labor, migration, and national mythology, and his seminal LOVE image first conceived in 1965 for the Museum of Modern Art’s Christmas card became one of the most influential and widely disseminated works of the 20th century, cementing his global legacy while his broader oeuvre explored political history, the Vietnam War, the civil rights movement, and autobiographical narratives tied to his industrial Midwest upbringing; influenced by the structural clarity of Calder, the conceptual provocations of Duchamp, the spiritual abstraction of Kandinsky, the surreal wit of Miro, and the experimental boldness of Man Ray, Indiana moved alongside Pop and contemporary luminaries such as Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, James Rosenquist, Claes Oldenburg, and Tom Wesselmann, all while forging a distinct voice that elevated language into monumental sculpture and emotional architecture, shaping later generations of artists including Jenny Holzer, Barbara Kruger, Ed Ruscha, Glenn Ligon, Tracey Emin, and Martin Creed, and earning placement in the world’s foremost museums MoMA, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Guggenheim Museum, the National Gallery of Art, LACMA, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Tate Modern, and others culminating in his highest auction record on May 15, 2019, when LOVE (Red/Blue) (1966–1999) sold for 4,112,000 USD at Christies New York.

Signed 1963 ROBERT INDIANA print (Robert Indiana prints)

By Robert Indiana

Located in NEW YORK, NY

Robert Indiana ERR 1963: A rare, sought-after early Robert Indiana print defined by surreal, experimental cinematic-like energy. Hand-signed by Indiana on the lower right. Medium: Photoengraving and etching on Rives BFK. Dimensions: 4 1/2x6 inches (including margins). Very good overall vintage condition. Signed, dated and inscribed "Artist's Proof 'E'" and "CHI" in pencil, lower margin. Rare Trial proof, aside from the main edition of 60. Printed by the artist at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Further background: According to Susan Sheehan, Indiana printed only six progressive trial proofs at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where he learned printmaking from 1949 to 1952, under the supervision of Vera Berdich (inscribed "CHI"). Additionally 13 trial proofs were printed at the Pratt Graphic Art Center, New York (these inscribed "NYC"). The regular edition was printed by Atelier Georges Lablanc, Paris and published by Galleria Schwarz, Milan to be included in International Anthology of Contemporary Engraving: The International Avant-Garde: America Discovered, Volume 5. The plate used for this print was originally given to the School of the Art Institute of Chicago by the R.R. Donnelly Company, printers of Life magazine. Indiana discovered the plate while visiting Berdich at the school and decided to use it in his contribution to the Avant-garde portfolio. Sheehan 29. Robert Indiana 1991: "When I went back to the Art Institute of Chicago at that particular time - I think I was judging a show - I learned that Vera Berdich (Indiana's former teacher) was still there and the idea occurred to me, wouldn't it be fun to do a visiting artist etching, and she concurred. There on the floor was a box of copper plates and the images had been defaced on each one. These copper plates had been donated by the R.R. Donnelly Company, which put out Life magazine. I used to work for Donnelly. My only commercial art job was with them doing the little drawing that appear in the Yellow Pages, like lawnmowers and vacuum cleaners and things like that. Anyway, the idea being that the student was supposed to turn the plate over to use the back side and forget about the image on the front. But I found this image of this actress sitting on her bed with her ironing board and decided it was only very lightly defaced, so I asked if I could use it. And the word "Err" was actually added in New York; it was not in the first proofs in Chicago. Two weeks later, I was thumbing through LIFE magazine and there was this actress in the same page..." About the artist: Robert Indiana is best known 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 reimagined the aesthetics of American advertisements...
