Robert Indiana's Prescient Reflections on the American Dream

This new film centers on Robert Indiana's critique of the American Dream—both its promise and its privations—through his work across painting and sculpture. Here, insights from Pace's co-founder Milly Glimcher, Pace's CEO Marc Glimcher, and Pace's Chief Curator Oliver Shultz situate Indiana's work from the 20th century in the context of America's political environment today. The gallery's exhibition of Indiana's work in New York—on view at 540 West 25th Street from May 9 to August 15, 2025—will highlight the connections between the artist’s personal history and the social, political, and cultural realities of America.
