    Robert Indiana’s iconic “LOVE” sculpture appeared on the UMFA’s lawn overnight on February 4, 2026. The artwork’s arrival wasn’t as effortless as it appeared. Many people, from UMFA staff, the University of Utah, and generous donors made bringing the sculpture to Utah possible. Learn about the artist and the sculpture’s Utah debut.
