Philadelphia, PA - The LOVE sculpture returns to Love Park, Robert Indiana sculpture was brought back to its namesake park arriving on a flatbed truck after number of stops at parks for its reinstatement along Benjamin Franklin Parkway.
After a year out of public view for conservation and to allow for the redesign of LOVE Park, LOVE returned to the plaza but with a new color scheme of red, green, and purple – not blue. The City of Philadelphia discovered that sections of the sculpture had been incorrectly painted blue during previous restorations. Representatives of the artist informed the City of the original color scheme and archival photographs from Temple University confirmed the original use of purple instead of blue.
