Catalogue Note
“The 'LOVE Sculpture' is the culmination of ten years of work based on the original premise that the word is an appropriated and usable element of art, just as Picasso and the Cubists made use of it at the beginning of the century, which evolved inevitably, in both my 'LOVE' paintings and sculpture, into the concept that the word is also a fit and viable subject for art.” Robert Indiana
