Description: "Few artworks are more widely recognized than Robert Indiana's iconic Pop image Love, which was originally commissioned as a Christmas card by The Museum of Modern Art, New York, in 1965. Appealing to a wide spectrum of viewers from its inception to the present - 1960s idealists to museum-bookstore shoppers - Love has been reproduced in prints, political banners, stamps and an equally iconic sculpture. This volume is published in honor of the artist's eightieth birthday and provides an intriguing look at his canonical large-scale metal sculpture. In addition to Love, such well-known works as the Electric Eat, Art and the autobiographical Numbers series are reproduced."--BOOK JACKET.
Notes: Published on the occasion of an exhibition held from September 18 to November 1, 2008.
