Robert Indiana (American, 1928-2018)
Robert Indiana was an American artist who played a central role in the development of assemblage art, hard-edge painting, and Pop-art. Indiana, a self-proclaimed “American painter of signs”, created highly original body of work that explores American identity, personal history, and the power of abstraction and language, establishing an important legacy that resonates in the work of many contemporary artists who make the written word a central element of their oeuvre. Indiana distinguished himself from his Pop peers by addressing important social and political issues and incorporating profound historical and literary references into his works.
