LOVE
LOVE, a polychromed aluminum sculpture that measures 72" x 72" x 36" and weighs 500 pounds, graces the triangular grounds of Blanche Levy Park at 36th Street and Locust Walk. Created by pop artist Robert Indiana in 1966, the LOVE sculpture was installed on Penn’s campus in 1999 as a gift from Jeffrey and Sivia Loria.
Penn's sculpture is one of many variations on the theme that Indiana created between 1966 and 1998, including a Christmas card for MOMA, a serigraph done especially for the ICA's Indiana show at Penn, and the sculpture that gives Center City Philadelphia’s "Love Park" its name.
