About the Item

Book of Love (12 works), 1996 The complete portfolio, comprising 12 screenprints in colors on A.N.W. Crestwood Museum paper, each signed in pencil, dated and numbered 143/200 (there were also 50 in Roman numerals and 15 artist's proofs), with the 12 accompanying poems, each initialed, numbered and 4 dated, published by American Image Editions, New York, 1997, loose (as issued), with colophon signed by the publisher, contained in the original portfolio. (12 works) each 18 1/8 x 18in (46 x 45.7cm) each sheet approx. 23 7/8 x 19 15/16in (60.7 x 50.7cm) More images are available In Book of Love, the largest of any LOVE print series, Indiana iterates the image through twelve different colorways paired with twelve of his own poems. Where LOVE on its own became a symbol, Book of Love communicates Indiana's more complicated contemplations of the illusion and disillusion of love and the world — the same emotions that inspired the destabilizing O in the composition.
