New Glory Banner I
New Glory Banner I exemplifies Robert Indiana's iconic approach to word-based abstraction through its bold deployment of stenciled letterforms and primary colors. Created in 1997 as part of The American Dream Portfolio, this serigraph combines Indiana's signature geometric typography with a simplified compositional structure that prioritizes clarity and immediate visual impact. The work employs the artist's characteristic use of red, blue, and yellow against crisp white space, creating a dynamic tension between the flat planes of color and the legibility of its textual elements. This unsigned printer's proof from an edition of 30 reflects the artist's continued engagement with themes of national identity and vernacular communication that defined his practice throughout his career. For collectors, this work represents an accessible entry point into Indiana's graphic output during a particularly productive period in his career. The serigraph medium allowed for precise control of color registration and form, essential to Indiana's aesthetic vision where every shape and hue carries intentional meaning. At this scale and in this condition, the piece retains the vibrancy that made Indiana's work so visually compelling in both intimate domestic settings and public spaces. The portfolio context further validates its significance within a carefully curated series exploring American cultural mythology and visual language.
