  • Sur l'oeuvre d'art
    "Yield Brother", from the "Decade" suite. Screenprint on heavy wove-paper, 1971. An impactful work where Indiana made use of military signage, stenciled letters and a palette of strong colours creating tension between it's call for peace and the visual language of military posters.

    Signed and dated and numbered (46/200) in pencil by the artist. The print also bears the artist's copyright ink stamp. Part of an edition of 230 total: 30 artist's proof and a regular edition of 200. The edition was printed by Domberger, Stuttgart (Germany) and published by Multiples Inc. New York City. Professionally framed in a brushed aluminium frame. Museum-glass was used to minimize reflection. Ready to hang.


    About Robert Indiana
    Robert Indiana (pseudonym of Robert Clark) ( New Castle, USA 1928 - Vinalhaven, USA 2018) was an American painter, sculptor and poet. He was a leading representative of pop art and created the internationally famous LOVE symbol in 1964. A self-described American painter of signs", Robert Indiana's works explore visual culture, national identity and personal history through symbols and colours inspired by signage and graphic design.

    Indiana had his first solo exhibition in 1962 at Eleanor Ward's Stable Gallery, which at that time also represented Cy Twombly and Robert Rauschenberg. In 1962 he participated with the work The Black American Dream #2 in the exhibition New Realists, organized in the gallery of Sidney Janis. It was here that pop art first announced itself as a new movement in visual art. In the following years, Indiana would participate in all the important group exhibitions of this movement.

    Although the Pop Art movement made Indiana famous, he was never fully comfortable with the consumerist nature of Pop Art as his work often was very politically outspoken. In 1978 Robert Indiana left New York City for good, moving to the remote island of Vinalhaven in Maine, close to where his hero, the painter Marsden Hartley had lived. Since then he rarely gave interviews or engaged in the art world, yet he continued to align himself with political causes, designing the official poster for Barack Obama's Presidential campaign in 2008.

    During his lifetime Indiana had countless exhibitions all over the world, and his work is included in the collections of numerous international museums: among others Metropolitan Museum New York, Museum of Modern Art New York, Tate Modern London, Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam and Hara Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo.

  • Sur l'artiste

    L'artiste est né Robert Clark à New Castle, Indiana. Il a ensuite changé son nom pour celui de son état natal. Entre 1945 et 1955, il étudie dans les écoles d'art d'Indianapolis et d'Utica, New York ; à la School of The Art Institute of Chicago, au Edinburgh College of Art et à l'Université de Londres. En 1956, il s'installe à New York et commence à réaliser des images aux couleurs vives et aux contours nets. Dans les années 1960, il a incorporé des lettres et des mots dans ses œuvres, créant les images de mots audacieuses qui lui ont valu une large reconnaissance.

    Robert Indiana a trouvé ses sujets dans les mots des enseignes américaines et des panneaux publicitaires des autoroutes. Comme d'autres artistes pop apparus dans les années 1960, il s'approprie des images familières de la culture américaine et leur donne un nouveau regard. L'une de ses images les plus célèbres est le mot "LOVE" rendu sous diverses formes : lettres majuscules aux couleurs vives ou en noir et blanc dans les estampes et les peintures ; sculpture en métal poli à grande échelle; et même des timbres-poste.

    Dans South Bend, la lithographie de la Galerie, Indiana fait non seulement allusion à son État d'origine et à lui-même, mais se livre également à un jeu de mots visuel dans les virages de la flèche, pointant vers le sud. À travers des couleurs vibrantes et des panneaux de signalisation, des noms de lieux et des formes qui ricochent autour de la composition, il capture l'énergie d'une autoroute américaine à grande vitesse. Le travail d'Indiana comprend des estampes, des sculptures et des peintures, ainsi que de nombreuses peintures murales commandées.
