Author Description

Craig F. Starr Gallery presents a group of largely unknown, rarely exhibited Robert Indiana paintings.Early in his career, Robert Indiana painted around two dozen small-scale canvases. These paintings laid the groundwork for what would later become the artist’s signature Pop style. While a few have been shown alongside later work, a substantial group of these paintings has never before been brought together in a single exhibition. Co-curated by the renowned art historian, John Wilmerding, Robert Indiana: Sign Paintings, 1960-65 is the first exhibition to closely examine this important series of paintings and includes 17 examples. This fully illustrated catalogue contains an essay written by Wilmerding.
