Robert Indiana was a contemporary artist who concentrated on creating socially and culturally significant pieces that revolved around real-world issues and experiences in his own life. He is described as an influential painter and sculptor with works that resonate with the Pop Art movement.

born robert clark in new castle, indiana in 1982, the artist joined the u.s. airforce prior to studying at a number of art institutions. In 1954, Indiana moved to New York to further explore the art scene and became familiar with a local art community in Coenties Slip located in Manhattan, New York. Indiana’s time in Coenties Slip greatly inspired him as an artist. The 1960s was Indiana’s break-out decade as his work was showcased in numerous museums throughout New York.

Known for his large-scale LOVE and Number series sculptures, Indiana inserted in-depth meanings and representations of his life and the American identity into his pieces. He found that he could incorporate single words and numbers in art, which represented specific emotions, locations, events, and milestones in his life.Indiana's artwork has been featured in numerous exhibitions around the world and is included in the permanent collections of many major museums including the MUSEUM OF MODERN ART, New York; TATE MODERN, London; and the SAN FRANCISCO MUSEUM OF MODERN ART.
