Indiana's monumental red and blue LOVE sculpture on display at the corner of 55th Street and Sixth Avenue

Robert Indiana's LOVE sculpture was one of those everyday sculptures that you'd amazingly get to see right on the streets of midtown. However, the iconic art piece has been MIA from its usual corner of 55th Street and Sixth Avenue for the past few years, after the work was removed from its post for conservation in 2019. Now Rockefeller Center is bringing a little love—pun intended—back to New York with an installation of work from the American artist.
