About The Work
This is a very rare hand signed and dedicated silkscreen, created in the late Sixties- featuring wide colorful bands of bright rich rainbow ink with type reversed out of the metallic silver background, characteristic of Pop Art in the Age of Aquarius. It bears Robert Indiana's personal ink dedication to a friend"To Herman/My Best/Bob". An edition of this print was selected for the exhibition, "The Prints and Posters of Robert Indiana 1961-1969", at the Department of Art of Saint Mary's College, Notre Dame, Indiana, 1969, and is featured as a full page reproduction in the catalog, "Robert Indiana Graphics". In the book's introduction, Richard Raymond Alasko notes, "Robert Indiana's prints and posters, even more than his paintings, force one to see through the picture to the image." Robert Indiana designed the theatrical sets for the Louis Falco Dance Company in Aspen, Colorado, and this silkscreen poster was created to promote the troupe's 1968 performance of Argot, Huescape and Translucens at the Wheeler Theatre. A 1993 NY Times obituary of Mr. Falco called him one of the finest dancers of his generation and a choreographer of exceptional promise: "Celebrated as the essence of a contemporary artist, Mr. Falco set many of his dances to popular music and commissioned sets by popular artists like Robert Indiana and Marisol.”
