Born Robert E. Clark in 1928, Robert Indiana was a leader of the 1960s pop art movement. His most famous sculpture is "LOVE", the original of which is on permanent display at the Indianapolis Museum of Art. Replicas of the piece can be found in cities across the country. Locally, visitors to the Indiana State Museum can view his work "Indiana" prominently displayed in the lobby. Indiana's career was forged studying art in schools from Chicago to Edinburgh, Scotland. His early works were inspired by traffic signs and commercial stencils. During the 2008 election, Indiana adapted his "LOVE" image into the word "HOPE" which was used as a symbol of President Barack Obama's campaign.
