The History
Robert Indiana debuted the design for his famous sculpture as a painting in 1964. After constructing the aluminum piece, Indiana lent it to the City of Philadelphia as part of the U.S. Bicentennial in 1976.
LOVE remained in John F. Kennedy Plaza for two years.
The sculpture moved briefly to New York until a local businessman bought it and donated it to Philadelphia. In February 2018 — after a year away from public view — the sculpture returned with a new color scheme of red, blue and purple instead of blue.
An iconic image synonymous with Philadelphia, the piece’s likeness has been recreated on items ranging from postage stamps to jewelry.

I printed this with 0.2mm layer height in gray instead of blue. I added a color change to red for the final 3 layers. Turned out great!
