This long sold out Robert Indiana silkscreen from the 1960s, one of the most exciting and influential eras in Pop Art history, is rarely to auction.
This early work was created in 1965 for The Paris Review, which commissioned a group of major contemporary artists to compose a series of prints to publicize the magazine and provide financial support for its literary endeavors. Twenty-three artists, among them Andy Warhol, Robert Rauschenberg, Helen Frankenthaler, Robert Motherwell, Alex Katz as well as Robert Indiana, donated signed, limited editions of original work. Years later, artists like Louise Bourgeois and Ed Ruscha would participate as well.
