As part of Pace Gallery's Artists on Artists series, Hank Willis Thomas visits the exhibition Robert Indiana: The American Dream, on view at the 540 West 25th Street gallery in New York through August 15, 2025. Reflecting on his experiences of Indiana’s work during his childhood, Thomas discusses the layered references embedded in the paintings and sculptures in the show. With a particular focus on the “subtle political intonations in the work,” he takes us on a short tour through the presentation, sharing and discussing his favorite Indiana artworks along the way.
