The story of the enamel / emaille:  "American Love",  and "Star of Hope" by Robert Kend  (see  photo Letter Envelope   - as some indication of the  provenance!- not  a part of the auction)

In the mid to late 1960's, a young entrepreneur named David Kend from New York, established a small company on Long Island called Paperweights, Inc. The concept was simple: a small square piece of Italian marble with a custom enameled logo on a round or square metal plate. Sold through the New York Times to Fortune 500 companies, the giveaways were popular at trade shows, events and as corporate awards.
David approached executives at American Express in the 1970's with an idea to market "modern art" to cardholders. He met with various artists of the day, including Peter Max, to explore the idea. There were always little inserts with special offers for gold card members and (he) was convinced there was a market. David eventually contacted and hired Robert Indiana to do "American Love".
Based on the very popular "LOVE" postage stamp of his own design, Indiana changed the colors to red, white and blue and signed off on the new enameled process on a large metal plate.
As far as I know, very few of these "American Love" metal plates survive; perhaps only the 5 or 6 he brought back with him on the plane from Japan where they were made. None were ever sold through American Express. All have remained in the Kend family since then unless he (Kend) gave a few away to friends or sent a proof to Mr. Indiana. Besides this " American Love" on other enamel/emaille piece of art was made : Star of Hope.
Provenance: from  estate Sale  Mr. Robert Kend (by his Wife after his death)  USA (close to Robert Indiana) ; see also original letter(envelope) on the back of the frame ( probably letter of approval which was sent by Robert Indiana to Mr. Kend)

Star of Hope is also the name of the Robert Indiana Museum (currently his house - which will be a museum this year/next year)

One of the central figures of the Pop Art movement, Robert Indiana takes his inspiration from commercial signs, claiming: “There are more signs than trees in America. There are more signs than leaves. So I think of myself as a painter of American landscape.” In his paintings, sculptures, and prints, he mimics and re-arranges the words and numbers of a myriad of signs, including the Phillips 66 gas station logo and the “Yield” traffic sign. He is most famous for his “LOVE” paintings and sculptures, first produced in the 1960s. Creating a block out of the word—with the “L” and the “O” set atop the “V” and the “E”—Indiana has effectively inserted his own sign into the mix.

More on Robert Indiana
Indiana's romance with words is matched by his fascination with numbers. Throughout his career, the artist has manipulated the cardinal numbers in both two and three dimentions. In fact, Indiana's monumental sculptures of the cardinal numbers, which grace permanent collection of the Indianapolis Museum of Art and a book, titled simply Numbers, with poetry by Robert Creeley, offer, a graphic look at Indiana's masterpieces of numbers.
Mr. Robert Indiana;s (love) work is iconic - one of the world most known/loved images
