Love Sculpture

I love this sign. it’s so fun to find different ways to take a pictures with the love sign.

Loved seeing this in NYC! Little bit of a line to take a picture with it but I loved seeing art work amongst all the hustle and bustle of the city.

Whats not to love? I came here in January and there was virtually no one here so we got to take lots of pics. Its a must do when in NY.

Surement parce que j’avais trop à faire lors de ma première venue à New York, j’avais complétement loupé la Love Sculpture.
Depuis mon retour, je suis tombé en plein dessus et comme (presque) tout le monde, je n’ai pu m’empêcher de la prendre en photo et comme (presque) tout le monde, on en ressort avec à peu près la même.

Certainly because I had too much to make during my first visit in New York, I had completely missed the Love Sculpture.
Since my return, I came across it and as (almost) everybody, I was not able to refrain from photographing her and as (almost) everybody, we take out again with more or less the same from it.

This was probably one of my favorite things on my to-​do list in New York. It’s such a cute sculpture, how can you resist? It’s iconic. Lines are never to bad to take a picture and it’s a great message! If you’re brave, try to climb the letters. Love love love…

Ehhhh sobrevalorado? creo que sí. Es una escultura para sacar la típica foto de estuve en NYC y amo a NY.
Se encuentra en la esquina de la calle 55, de repente estas caminando y notas un montón de gente sacándose fotos con la escultura minimalista que solo deletrea la palabra LOVE.
Si eres un turista que necesita demostrar que estuvo en cierta ciudad y quieres subir la típica foto de esa ciudad, adelante, esta escultura es sinónimo de la camiseta de I Love NY.
El nombre del escultor es Robert Indiana.

I recently stayed across the street and woke up every morning with a view of the Love Sculpture. It was nice to see some art and the word love to remind me of my wife and kids while I was away at work. It’s one of those iconic things you see online all of the time so it was cool to be staying right across the street from it.

Love in NYC, is it possible? Well on the corner of West 55^th all I found was just a statue.
Hey it’s a great photo opportunity if your in need of a memory in The Big Apple. You’ll see plenty of yahoo’s around taking picture proclaiming there love. So feel free to ask someone to snap a photo of you,. Just hope they won’t run away with your iPhone or camera.
Cheers

Outside art. One of the greatest things is turning a corner and having something unexpected appear. An artists vision of what might be good in that space. Or a building owners idea of what will fulfill a «community obligation» he/​she may have for having the building at all.
The LOVE artwork in NYC is one of those. Used in thousands of pictures from tourists to locals it’s easy to take it for granted if you live or work in the area.
My cousin, from Paris, and her husband, from Texas, used it as part of their engagement announcement. They lived in NYC at the time and it fit them perfectly. I’m sure they are not the only ones I have done this, but it’s the only one I’ve seen.

Stand in line and get your picture taken. Pretty self explanatory. Waited about 10 minutes but It was entertaining watching people awkwardly kiss or try and climb the monument.

Such a cool and awesome sculpture. Have been to Manhattan hundreds of times but only recently went with my husband. Asked a nice lady to take a picture of us.

#LOVE The first and original is in Philadelphia (City of Brotherly LOvE). But this is cool too.

I actually didn’t realize this was in NYC. I was staying nearby and saw it from a distance. I figured I’d have to go at some point. There always seems to be a line. I just wanted a picture of it without other people and myself. It is close to a Starbucks so I walked the extra block early one morning before grabbing coffee to snag my photo. I had to wait a couple minutes for a couple others to leave but worth it. Its such a nice sculpture. We should all remember this LOVE thing and the world would be such a happier better place.

Really cute thing to see. This is just a sculpture on the corner of the street. It’s hard getting a picture because there’s so many people, but you just have to stick yourself in there. Definitely something cute to see.

One of the little reminders of love with this great art piece. Great photo spot for a couple or family. Always a popular attraction especially for Valentine’s Day.

Argh, avoir vu Morgan poster sa photo a fait ressortir un brin de nostalgie de tout ce temps passé à NYC. En pleine balade entre copines, en plein moment de détente, ça nous est tombé dessus sans qu’on le cherche réellement.
Une gigantesque sculpture art moderne LOVE rouge et bleue, que vous né pouvez pas rater Avenue of the Americas. A la base, c’était une image utilisée par le MOMA sur ses cartes de Noël.
En soit y a rien de particulier hein, mais j’aime bien les photos :).

La sculpture LOVE est iconique à New York: passage obligé pour une photo souvenir entre amoureux ou juste pour admirer cette oeuvre monumentale en se rendant au MOMA ou à Central Park ou à un des fameux brunches chez Norma’s.
Le saviez vous? Cette sculpture a été conçue par Robert Indiana en 1964 à Philadelphie, on la retrouve depuis partout dans le monde: New York, Madrid, Singapour, Taipei, Shanghai, Montréal, Fondation Pierre Gianadda, Martigny, Suisse etc.

One more thing to LOVE about New York City. They say, a picture is worth a 1,000 words… but in this case, it’s worth just ONE word… LOVE. The most elusive, sought after, mysterious, wonderful, necessary, misunderstood, beautiful word in the world. LOVE.
Took me a few visits to find this sculpture… but I finally did. Sure, I could have researched it a bit to see where it was located, but what fun is that? I just kept walking till I was on the right street, and even if I drove by it in a taxi, I never bothered to look at what the streets were… in fact, I don’t even remember now… but now, I can look it up on Unilocal.Eh, it’s more fun just stumbling on it.
I LOVE the LOVE sign.

Touristy but what the hey. It’s the Love sculpture, how could you not like it? There’s a few of these across the United States and different version in different languages in Europe and Asia as well. Yes, all of the pictures people take with the sculpture is cliché but it promotes the word L O V E and with that said, there’s no shame in taking photos with that.

Having walked by this spot many times, I thought the NYC Love Sculpture is not a big deal until I saw the Philly’s Love Sculpture that suppose to be famous because it has been used in many advertisements and films.
Well, Philly’s Love Sculpture is puny!!!
Hey Philly sizes count.

The second Love Sculpture of my life (the first I found in Tokyo), this one in Manhattan is definitely more prominent, hanging out right here on the corner.
Did you know you can find these all over the world? Originally designed by Robert Indiana back in 1964, this has become pretty iconic. It’s just around the corner from MoMA. Hooray for public art!

Having an «Autumn in NYC» wedding oh so many years ago, this was one of the quintessential photo-​op stops for our wedding pictures! Tourists asked to take pics with us too that day lol
How can’t a giant red LOVE sculpture not light up anyone’s day!

This is good place for photo-​op if you are a tourist in NYC.
Sometimes there is a line of people waiting for their turns to take photos here so just be prepared for a line. Otherwise, definitely get a photo here and you will feel the love :)

I had no idea there was one of these statues in NYC, but it’s pretty darn cool.
I love that the art is public and anyone can take photos, see it, etc. I love that it’s on a really busy corner and people see it every day as they walk and drive by. I love that it’s free and anyone can see it. I just wish the art was better lit at night. We wandered by here at night and it’s quite dark. A little better lighting would really help. Looking at other people’s photos, maybe it is better lit sometimes and we just caught it on a bad day?
Also, maybe it was a little hidden, but I don’t remember seeing a plaque anywhere with info about the sculpture.
