Classic Love, 1995

Indiana’s practice combined the accessibility of Pop Art with deeper social and personal narratives. His use of universal words like “love,” “hope,” and “eat” not only connected with the optimism of the 1960s but also carried layered meanings tied to history, politics, and his own life. This blend of simplicity and complexity gave his works enduring appeal and positioned him as a key figure in the dialogue between text and image in modern art.

From an investment perspective, Robert Indiana’s works remain highly sought after, with his original paintings and sculptures commanding strong results at auction. His prints and editioned works provide more accessible opportunities for collectors while still holding significant cultural and financial value due to their recognisability and importance in art history. Indiana’s LOVE and other iconic works remain timeless acquisitions, representing both artistic and cultural milestones.

Bents Contemporary regularly deals in both Robert Indiana prints and original works. We offer discrete services in acquisitions and sales, so please get in touch with our private sales department if you are interested.
