Robert Indiana’s ‘LOVE’ is scheduled to arrive at The Huntington in San Marino, California, on November 21, 2026, according to the institution’s fall program announcement. The notice identifies the work’s arrival as one of the season’s principal developments, but does not provide details about its ownership, installation, display duration, or whether it will be presented as part of a specific exhibition.
The Huntington—formally The Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens—combines research collections, art galleries, and gardens at its San Marino campus. The institution’s fall announcement presents the site as a place where exhibitions, garden experiences, public programs, and seasonal events take place across its library, museum, and botanical settings.
The announcement gives no further information about the version of ‘LOVE’ coming to The Huntington, including its medium, dimensions, location on the grounds, or the circumstances of its arrival. It also does not state whether the presentation represents an acquisition, a loan, or a temporary installation. Those details remain unconfirmed by the supplied source material.
Indiana’s ‘LOVE’ is among the most widely recognized images associated with American art of the 20th century. The Huntington’s announcement names Indiana as the artist and places the work within its fall 2026 schedule, but offers no additional biographical or art-historical information about either the artist or the work.
The arrival is announced alongside a broader group of fall activities at The Huntington. These include the opening of ‘Doyle Lane: Master of Clay,’ described as the first major museum retrospective devoted to Los Angeles ceramic artist Doyle Lane; the exhibition ‘the eight directions of the wind: Edmund de Waal at The Huntington,’ scheduled to remain on view through October 26; and the multiyear initiative ‘Reflections for America at 250,’ which invites visitors to consider the American story through the lens of land.
The institution’s current visitor information states that it is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily except Tuesdays, with reservations required on Fridays, weekends, holidays, and during peak seasons. The confirmed event listing identifies only November 21, 2026, and The Huntington in San Marino for the arrival of Robert Indiana’s ‘LOVE’.
