"LOVE" Ring by Robert Indiana
About the Item
“LOVE” RING BY ROBERT INDIANA
United States, 1969
Gilded brass
Weight 17.5 gr., US size 6.5, UK size N
This cast ring of gilded brass has a wide flat hoop that is textured on the inside and outside and displays shiny beveled edges. The shoulders expand, merging into a sculptural bezel with a polished surface forming the word “LOVE,” composed in two lines. Ring as sculpture, ring as symbol, ring as icon, and ring as art are all embodied in this compelling object, which still functions today as a powerful sign for the so-called “Love Generation” of the 1960s. Never worn, our ring is still in its original case in an Ultima II box. The “LOVE” ring has become an iconic piece in the world of jewelry and appears in various publications.

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.
