The Big Four (Four Fours), by Robert Indiana, 1964. 

“Four, Indiana explained to Arthur C. Carr, was an unhappy number and ‘not a lucky number by common superstition’.” (From Robert Indiana: Figures of Speech by Susan Elizabeth Ryan.)

Uh-oh. 

Fold Four is excited to begin work on The Essential Robert Indiana catalogue for the Indianapolis Museum of Art. I recently spent some time in the Milwaukee Public Library’s art reference library poring over past publications devoted to the artist.
