Printed by Edition Domberger, Germany Professionally framed in bespoke white wooden frame, hand-made, with PLEXIGLAS Optical HC, scratch-resistant and UV-protected. Framed approx. 75 x 75 cm Throughout his career, Robert Indiana frequently explored the concept of the chronological decade, using it as a structural and thematic framework for his art. His first major engagement with this idea came in 1971 with his Decade portfolio, a series of ten screenprints, each representing one of his paintings from the 1960s. Indiana revisited this concept in 1980 with Decade: Autoportraits, Vinalhaven Suite, a collection of prints reflecting on his artistic journey throughout the 1970s. The title references Vinalhaven, a secluded island off the coast of Maine where Indiana relocated in 1978, marking a shift from his bustling New York City life to a more introspective, solitary environment. This transition imbued the Vinalhaven Suite with a personal and reflective quality, distinguishing it from his earlier Decade works. Both Decade series serve as visual timelines, capturing the evolution of Indiana s artistic vision while also offering a poignant meditation on the passage of time. This unique ten-year format not only frames his career milestones but also underscores his deep engagement with memory, identity, and change. ** Robert Indiana: Master of Pop Art & Iconic Typography ** Robert Indiana (1928 2018) was an American Pop Art pioneer, best known for his bold, typographic works that blend graphic design, literature, and political themes.
