About
Robert Indiana, a leading American pop artist, was born Robert Clark in New Castle, IN, September 13, 1928, and later took the name of his home state. Having completed his education in 1954, he moved to New York. Indiana's early experiments with severely planned forms led in 1960 to his distinctive brand of pop painting, which combines stenciled lettering -- DIE and LOVE -- with clearly defined areas of bright color. Since the late 1960s he has expanded his LOVE theme to a series of sculptures, some of them monumental in size. Indiana has also designed sets and costumes for theatrical productions, most notably for the Santa Fe Opera's production (1976) of Virgil Thomson's The Mother of Us All, based on the life of Susan B. Anthony.  Contact
