The LOVE Sculpture: Philly's Most Photographed Spot

Robert Indiana's iconic LOVE sculpture has stood in JFK Plaza (now universally called "Love Park") since the 1976 Bicentennial, when it was first placed here on loan; after a brief removal it was bought and reinstalled in 1978. The design dates to the mid-1960s and the aluminum sculpture to 1970. It features the letters L and O stacked above V and E, with the O distinctively tilted. It is among the most photographed pieces of public art in the city. Indiana's work appears elsewhere in Philadelphia too: another LOVE sculpture stands on the Penn campus in University City, and a Spanish-language AMOR sits in Sister Cities Park.
