One of the great names in Pop Art, Robert Indiana (Robert Clark; New Castle, 1928 - Vinalhaven, 2018), is featured in an exhibition running April 17 through Nov. 24 at the Procuratie Vecchie in Venice. The exhibition is presented by the Yorkshire Sculpture Park and titled Robert Indiana: The Sweet Mystery: it is an official collateral event of the 60th Venice Biennale. This exhibition finds its home in the Procuratie Vecchie complex, a place steeped in history, recently restored by renowned architect David Chipperfield, recipient of the prestigious Pritzker Prize. The exhibition aims to be an opportunity to immerse oneself in Robert Indiana’s artistic universe through a perspective that highlights the essential themes of his research, namely spirituality, identity and the human condition.
