Love Sculpture

The pop art steel statue by Robert Indiana is located in the heart of Manhattan in New York. It was created as a Christmas card design for the Museum of Modern Art (in 1965), then it was turned into a popular stamp (in 1973) and later on, a sculpture - that became an icon - was made. The very first LOVE Sculpture was installed in Indianapolis (in 1970).

Ever since, more and more LOVE Sculptures were appearing all over the US and consequently all over the world. Among many US cities that also have their LOVE Sculpture, apart from New York, are e.g. Scottsdale, New Orleans or Philadelphia. Some of the sculptures are even “translated” (e.g. the AMOR Sculpture in Milan or the Hebrew LOVE Sculpture in Israel Museum).

The New York LOVE Sculpture is a very popular place for taking pictures. Due to its popularity, there are often queues of tourists waiting to take their pictures with it. You can touch the sculpture or climb it and come up with funny and original photos.
