Robert Indiana Has Died

His fame was based on the design of a Christmas card for MOMA in 1965, basically a bold Diodone type with a skewed "O".

 Robert Indiana's LOVE (1965) is one of many holiday cards commissioned by The Junior Council of the Museum. The image subsequently became well-known in various other contexts. © 2015 Morgan Art Foundation Ltd./Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York

Robert Indiana's most famous work, it's been  reproduced on T-shirts, prints and other media, including a US postage stamp. There are hundreds of versions of the sculpture across the world.

 A building address number in a midwestern city. Maybe it's a kind of copy of Indiana's sculpture. Or perhaps he copied this one.
