Robert Indiana's pop art Love design was originally produced as a print for a Museum of Modern Art Christmas card in 1965. The first LOVE sculpture, in Indianapolis, was made in 1970. Since then, it has been released in many different incarnations and sculptural versions now appear in urban centers around the globe. Variants employ the Hebrew, Chinese,[citation needed] Italian and Spanish languages.
