Printed with full margins and presented as an Artist Proof outside the standard edition, this impression is one of only ten produced at this designation, bearing the hand signature of LOVE by the artist in pencil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe work measures 50.8 x 60.7 cm and exemplifies Indiana’s lifelong preoccupation with language, symbol, and the charged simplicity of the single word as image. First conceived in 1964 as a Christmas card design for the Museum of Modern Art, New York, Indiana’s LOVE motif became a cultural touchstone of the era, translated across sculpture, painting, and print with an enduring graphic authority. This 1996 screenprint, produced in connection with The Book of Love: Art \u0026amp; Poetry Booklet, revisits that iconography with the same bold chromatic confidence that established Indiana’s reputation across six decades of practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtist Proofs are produced in strictly limited quantities outside the numbered edition and are among the most sought-after impressions of any print. Combined with the artist’s handwriting, this work carries the full weight of Indiana’s hand and intention, making it an acquisition of both cultural resonance and lasting investment quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRobert Indiana’s work is held in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art, New York, the Smithsonian American Art Museum, and the Whitney Museum of American Art, among many others worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAvailable through Creed Gallery, Ascot, for collectors across Berkshire, Surrey, and London.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLOVE from the Book of Love: Art \u0026amp; Poetry Booklet, 1996\u003cbr\u003eArtist Proof edition of 10, apart from the standard edition of 200.\u003cbr\u003eScreenprint in colours with Wove paper, with full margins.
