一个“爱”字的表达，有很多种方式。

艺术家、文学家和设计师煞费苦心，试图找到“爱”字的最好表达。

美国艺术家罗伯特·印第安那（Robert Indiana）用最简练的办法，将LOVE四个字母堆在一起，居然获得很多专家和百姓的喜爱，被设立在许多城市的街头。用坚硬的钢铁，表达柔软的感情，红蓝两色搭配，非常响亮。

曼哈顿55街和六大道交界处，MoMA的附近，就拥有一座（下面三图）。费城美术馆旁边，也有一座，资料介绍，在遥远的东方，台北街头，也有一座。

The first LOVE sculpture created by Robert Indiana is at the Indianapolis Museum of Art

LOVE is a sculpture by American artist Robert Indiana. It consists of the letters LO (with the O canted sideways) over the letters VE. The image was originally designed as a Christmas card for the Museum of Modern Art in 1964, and first exhibited as a sculpture in New York City in 1970. This original sculpture is made of COR-TEN steel and has been on exhibit at the Indianapolis Museum of Art since 1975[1]. The LOVE design has been reproduced in a variety of formats. Likewise, the sculpture has been recreated in multiple versions and a variety of colors, and is now on display around the world.

[edit] Other versions of the LOVE design

The image has been rendered and parodied countless times. Versions of the sculpture exist in Hebrew, Chinese, Italian and Spanish. The original book cover for Erich Segal's novel Love Story alluded to the design, and the TV series Bridget Loves Bernie included a shot of the Sixth Avenue sculpture in its opening credits. The United States Post Office issued an eight-cent stamp in 1973 featuring the image. Parodies of the image appeared on covers of records by Rage Against the Machine (Renegades), Oasis (Little by Little single) and Acen (75 Minutes). London artist D*Face parodied the image by rendering the word hate with the A tilted and Belgian artist Eddy Gabriel made a version using the word lost.[6] The sculpture is remade to read "THPS" in the Xbox expansion of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2, which has a stage set in Philadelphia's LOVE Park. The set reappears in Tony Hawk's Underground 2. Evan Greenfield's sculpture "I'm Lovin' It" alludes to Indiana's image.

The LOVE emblem has been adopted by skateboarders and frequently appears in skateboard magazines and videos. After skateboarding was banned in Philadelphia's LOVE Park, the emblem was used by organizations opposing the ban.[7]
