Robert Indiana (born Robert Clark; September 13, 1928 – May 19, 2018) was an American artist and a central figure of the Pop Art movement. He drew inspiration from advertising signs and claimed: “In America there are more signs than trees. There are more signs than leaves. I consider myself a painter of the American landscape.” In his paintings, sculptures, tapestries and prints, he mimics and arranges the words and numbers of a variety of signs, including the Phillips 66 gas station logo and the traffic sign “Yield.” He is best known for his 1964 painting “Love,” created for a Christmas card for the Museum of Modern Art in New York. He created a block from the word – with the “L” and the “O” on the “V” and the “E” – Indiana effectively inserted his own sign into the mix. His “Love” painting was reproduced on a postage stamp in 1973; his “Love” sculptures are installed worldwide in public spaces.

Indiana moved to New York City in 1954 and joined the Pop Art movement. He used a distinctive visual language based on approaches of commercial art and existentialism, gradually turning toward what Indiana called “sculptural poems.” He has held solo exhibitions in more than 40 museums and galleries worldwide. His works are in the permanent collections of numerous museums, including: the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York; the Stedelijk Museum, Schiedam, Netherlands; the Carnegie Institute, Detroit Institute of Art, the Baltimore Museum of Art, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Hirshhorn Museum in Washington, DC; the Institute for Contemporary Art, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; and the Los Angeles County Museum, California, among many others.
