[American Artists] [Indiana, Robert. (1928-2018)] Nevelson, Louise. (1899-1988). Signed Cloth Napkin from NY Central Park LOVE Installation.
Cloth napkin signed and inscribed "LOVE WITH LOVE" / Beautiful (work) / Great (work)" to center inside an original drawing of a plate and table setting by Louise Nevelson, the American artist best known for her outdoor sculptures; additionally signed and inscribed to Indiana by 10 artists, actors and others who attended the inauguration of the installation of LOVE, Indiana’s monumental, twelve-foot-high, Cor-Ten steel sculpture in New York’s Central Park, where it remained November 29, 1971–January 5, 1972. Unfortunately, only Nevelson and Richard Warren have signed with their last names, and while it is safe to assume there are other notable figures among these inscriptions and drawings, we have thus far been unable to positively identify any others or obtain any record of the attendees at the sculpture unveiling. Some of the inscriptions are signed Carl, Herb, Willie, Anna and Midlie. 20 x 20 inches (50.8 x 50.8 cm.), sold together with a second napkin of same color and format, inscribed with a large drawing of a cat, signed "Dear Bob I cannot wait any longer / Love Diana." 

"Probably the highest for me was to see the LOVE in Central Park across from the Plaza Hotel. And its effect on people was immediate and spontaneous. People, people could just not resist climbing in, through around, all over the LOVE. And of course that wasn’t so happy because Cor-Ten steel is very, very, rather a tender medium, and takes scuffing and graffiti and so forth very badly. But that was a very gratifying experience for me. It was quite obvious that everybody did love the LOVE." (Robert Indiana, interviewed by Susan Elizabeth Ryan, January 13, 1991, Robert Indiana: Figures of Speech Archive 1987–2005)
