Robert Indiana

Robert Indiana is renowned for his emblematic “LOVE” image, which has been featured in various forms such as sculptures, prints, and paintings, encapsulating the artist's graphic and predominantly text-oriented approach to Pop art. Over the course of his career, Indiana transformed the visual language of American advertising, slogans, and commercial logos into vibrant, simplified artworks that reflect on national identity and the significance of language. He pursued his studies at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in Maine, and the Edinburgh College of Art in Scotland, before relocating to New York, where he engaged with avant-garde figures like Ellsworth Kelly and Agnes Martin. His paintings and sculptures frequently command seven-figure prices in the secondary market. Indiana's works have been showcased in major cities such as New York, London, Paris, Berlin, Tokyo, and Zürich, and are part of prestigious collections including the Museum of Modern Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Stedelijk Museum, the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
