PIASA presents, on the occasion of its Editions sale on December 11, 2019, three works by Robert Indiana, particularly iconic of his creations around the word "Love".
Robert Indiana, an American Pop Art figure, studied in London in the 1950s and moved to New York in 1954. He proclaimed himself "American symbol painter" and in 1966 presented the very first series of "Love" paintings presented at the Stable Gallery, New York. The icon was born. In 1970, he quickly created the sculpture "LOVE" presented in the "Love Park" in Philadelphia.

Valuation : 15000 / 20000 €
According to the artist: "It is the culmination of ten years of work based on the original premise that the word is an appropriate and usable element of art, just as Picasso and the Cubists used it at the beginning of the century, and which inevitably evolved, in his paintings and sculptures "LOVE", towards the concept that the word is also an appropriate and viable subject of art". He declines this stamped image as the one presented for sale.
