  • Over kunstwerk
    "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.

  • Over kunstenaar

    De kunstenaar werd geboren als Robert Clark in New Castle, Indiana. Later veranderde hij zijn naam in die van zijn geboortestaat. Tussen 1945 en 1955 studeerde hij aan kunstacademies in Indianapolis en in Utica, New York; aan de School of The Art Institute of Chicago, Edinburgh College of Art en London University. In 1956 vestigde hij zich in New York City en begon levendig gekleurde, scherpe foto's te maken. In de jaren zestig verwerkte hij letters en woorden in zijn werken, waardoor hij de gedurfde woordbeelden creëerde die hem brede erkenning opleverden.

    Robert Indiana heeft zijn onderwerpen gevonden in de woorden van Amerikaanse borden en billboards op de snelweg. Net als andere popartiesten die in de jaren zestig opkwamen, eigent hij zich bekende beelden uit de Amerikaanse cultuur toe en geeft ze een nieuwe look. Een van zijn beroemdste afbeeldingen is het woord "LOVE", weergegeven in verschillende vormen: felgekleurde of zwart-witte blokletters in prenten en schilderijen; grootschalige gepolijste metalen sculptuur; en zelfs postzegels.

    In South Bend, de lithografie van de Gallery, verwijst Indiana niet alleen naar zijn thuisstaat en naar hemzelf, maar geeft hij zich ook over aan een visuele woordspeling in de bochten van de pijl, die naar het zuiden wijst. Door middel van levendige kleuren en verkeersborden, plaatsnamen en vormen die rond de compositie afketsen, vangt hij de energie van een Amerikaanse hogesnelheidssnelweg. Indiana's werk omvat prenten, beeldhouwwerken en schilderijen, en veel muurschilderingen in opdracht.
