| Robert Indiana, LOVE, 1970. Indianapolis Museum of Art at Newfields |
Robert Indiana is dead. We didn't know
Robert Indiana, but we knew he was born here in Indiana. We knew he was raised in a church in New Castle, Indiana, and we knew he was gay. A paper-weight sized miniature of his LOVE sculpture in gold is at the center of
our art collection. It was purchased from the Indianapolis Museum of Art. In a
statement, the Indianapolis Museum of Art said that Indiana's "legacy of love will continue to live on for generations to come, as the original LOVE sculpture, made of Cor-ten steel, greets guests into the IMA Galleries. Mr. Indiana and his works of art are an iconic symbol of love in the Indianapolis community and we are honored to continue his legacy." [
