UMFA prepares for the arrival of LOVE sculpture

Preparations are underway on the Utah Museum of Fine Arts (UMFA)’s south lawn near South Campus Drive for the early 2026 arrival of Robert Indiana’s LOVE sculpture (Red Outside / Blue Inside)—an iconic twentieth-century American artwork.

In addition to its visual and cultural impact, the installation of LOVE is expected to serve as a new landmark for both the University of Utah and the broader Salt Lake City community.
