This is a list of the many versions of Robert Indiana's Love sculpture that exist worldwide (1969–1999). The original Pop Art image was created for print media in the 1960s. The first rendering of it in sculpture was made in 1970. Sculptural versions now appear in urban centers around the globe. Variants employ the Hebrew, Chinese,[citation needed] Italian and Spanish languages as well as the original English language.
