About the Artwork
Featuring the dynamic arrangement of the letters 'L', 'O', 'V', and 'E,' this is a signature artwork by American Pop Art master Robert Indiana. It is the work that brought Robert Indiana global recognition. The word 'LOVE,' inspired by the phrase 'God is Love' that Indiana encountered in church during his childhood, was initially used in a greeting card design he sent to friends in 1964. In 1965, it was selected as the Christmas card for the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York, and in 1966, it was transformed into a sculpture. With its simple yet striking visual impact, the work effectively conveys the abstract emotion of love through intuitive use of basic shapes and colors. The
About the Artist
U.S. born pop artist Robert Indiana focused on simple symbols and functional design, using simple words as subjects to convey succinct and powerful messages. Through bold designs and colors, he created sculptural works such as ‘Love,’ ‘HOPE,’ and ‘Numbers.’ These ordinary symbols and designs allowed everyone to understand his works easily and gained wide popularity from the public. Today, his works continue to deliver a variety of messages through images that resonate with everyone, carrying on the artist's hope that 'love will spread throughout the world through my art.' Passed away in 2018, Indiana has left a monumental influence on the advancement of Pop Art and on other contemporary artists who use letters and symbols in their works. He is recognized as an artist who narrowed the distance between life and art, contributing to making life more artistic.
