Robert Indiana: Hope, Venice

The Contini Gallery of Art is pleased to present the exhibition “HOPE” honoring Robert Indiana (b. 1928 in New Castle, Indiana), today one of America’s most well-known and celebrated Contemporary artists. The exhibition which will be held in the location of the Contini Gallery in Venice situated in Calle Larga XXII Marzo, is an exceptionally rare event in Italy, paying tribute to this master of Pop Art with the presentation of an extensive series of “HOPE” sculptures and silkscreens. Following the fortunate “LOVE” series - masterpieces of international fame - “HOPE” soon became one of the most famous icons of the 21st Century after its unveiling at the entrance of the Democratic National Convention Center in Denver in 2008. The Galleria Contini will present sculptures from the HOPE series in various sizes, realized in stainless steel, painted aluminum and a selection of silkscreens on paper, aluminum and canvas.
