"LOVE" by Robert Indiana
(1996 - 1999)
"Without Valentine's Day, February would be... well, January." ~ Jim Gaffigan
"Conceived when the United States was consumed by the Vietnam War, Indiana’s “LOVE” sculptures became a symbol for peace. This famous sculpture is one of the most celebrated works within the pop art movement as well the art world as a whole. The block letters placed two-by-two atop one another is a favorite spot for taking pictures with the one you love."
"Purchased through the Scottsdale Public Art Program with in-kind support from Pascal and Sylvie de Sarthe, Scottsdale and Simon and Gilian Salama-Caro, New York, in 2002, LOVE is a 144" (h) x144" (w) x72" (d) sculpture made of poly-chromed red and blue aluminum, weighing 3,800 lbs." (Reprinted texts from here: http://www.scottsdalepublicart.org/collection/love.php)
