Jubilæumsplakat Robert Indiana – LOVE (1972)

Anniversary poster with the work, Love (1972) by the American artist, Robert Indiana, (1928-2018). The work was originally reproduced on the exhibition poster in connection with Louisiana's exhibition of Indiana in 1972. With razor-sharp precision, bright colors and template-like rendering of words such as EAT, KILL and, as here, LOVE, Robert Indiana cast a critical light on American society.

American pop artist—or as he called himself, "sign painter"—Robert Indiana's rendering of the word, LOVE, is one of the most recognizable works of art of the 20th century.

Indiana's iconic, clean graphic expression, use of numbers and letters and bright colors have inspired many artists who use the written word as a central part of their works.

The poster is one of the anniversary posters reprinted in conjunction with Louisiana's 60th anniversary in 2018.
