Robert Indiana's tapestry Chosen Love” from 1995 takes up the central motif of his art: the merging of word and image. Known for his iconic work LOVE,” which gained worldwide fame, Chosen Love” also remains faithful to the theme of love. Indiana, shaped as a child by the Christian Science movement, often uses simple yet powerful words in his works that become universal symbols. The clear, graphic representation of the text recalls the hard-edge technique that Indiana had already established in his early works and showcases his characteristic combination of text and art.
