Robert Indiana: Sculpture 1958-2018

YSP presented the first major European exhibition of sculpture, painting and prints by American artist Robert Indiana in 2022-23.

Robert Indiana: Sculpture 1958-2018 traced the development of sculpture across six decades. The exhibition explored the complex character of Indiana’s art practice and considered his view of the darker side of the American dream. This was a time of vast social and political change. Unity, acceptance and love are themes that run throughout Indiana’s work. These remain relevant today for movements against racism and discrimination towards LGBTQIA+ communities.

A major figure in American art since the 1960s, Robert Indiana (1928-2018) developed a highly original body of work that explores identity, personal history, the American Dream, and the power of abstraction and language. Robert Indiana: Sculpture 1958–2018 traces the development of the artist’s practice over a six-decade career, with a focus on his sculpture.

This catalogue features incisive texts by Matthew Armstrong, Flavia Frigeri and YSP Director Clare Lilley, with extensive in-situ photography by Jonty Wilde.
