ROBERT INDIANA (1928-2018)


Love-Stable May 66.
Screenprint poster. 820x610 mm, 32¼x24 inches. 1966. Hand-signed, inscribed and dated by the artist in ink.

For Indiana's third solo exhibition (which the artist referred to as his "LOVE show") at Stable Gallery, New York. The artist developed the first incarnation of LOVE in 1964 as a design for a personal holiday greeting that he sent to his friends, and then refined as a printed Christmas card for The Museum of Modern Art, New York, the following year. In 1966, the artist debuted major paintings of the motif at Stable Gallery, New York. This is the first poster featuring his iconic design.
