Robert Indiana: Love and Hope

March 8 – April 22, 2018

This retrospective exhibition showcases the iconic short works created by Robert Indiana, one of America’s foremost living pop artists. Best known for his dynamic images, HOPE, LOVE, and ART, Indiana draws his inspiration from typography found on signs, factory die-cut stencils, logos, and billboards. Works from his recent masterpieces, Alphabet and Like a Rolling Stone, are also included.

This exhibition of over 40 works brings together the poetry of Indiana and his most famous images—images that remain relevant to American identity and the power of language as seen in his silkscreens, paintings, and sculptures.

Curated by Michael McKenzie/American Image Art.

This exhibition was organized by Landau Traveling Exhibitions, Los Angeles, CA.

This exhibition is generously supported by Annapolis Subaru.

Additional support provided by Mark Baganz and Laura Salladin, Deborah Bowerman Coons and Jana Bowerman Sample, Anna E. Greenberg, Tara B. Clifford, and an Anonymous Donor.
