[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This sculpture was made by Rob Indiana 'LOVE- red outside, blue inside'. Placed in the gardens of Chatsworth House as part of a Southerby's selling exhibition. Placed in the middle of the cascade just outside the Stately home this sculpture lit up an area with its bright and bold build. Though not a sculpture which permitted climbing on, hence the sign.
*Indiana's best known image is the word "LOVE" in a square with a tilted "O". This image, first created for a Christmas card for the Museum of Modern Art in 1964, was included on an 8 cent United States Postal Service postage stamp in 1973, the first of their regular series of "love stamps."

Infamously, Indiana failed to register a copyright for the work, and found it difficult to deter unauthorized commercial use. The image has been reproduced in countless times in varying forms, including sculptures, posters, and 3-D desk ornaments. It has been translated into Hebrew, Chinese, and Spanish. It strongly influenced the original cover of Love Story, the Erich Segal novel. It was parodied on the Rage Against the Machine album cover for Renegades, as well as the cover for Oasis' single Little by Little from the 2002 album Heathen Chemistry. Artist Mathew Jones created an AIDS-protest homage that read "DEAD". Philadelphia anti-folk singer Adam Brodsky has a tattoo reading "DORK".
