A walk up into toward 55th Street in New
York late the other afternoon took me past something I hadn’t seen before: the “Hope”
sculpture on the corner of 7th Avenue and 53rd Street.
When Robert Indiana’s outdoor sculpture—made in the
manner of his even more famous “Love” sculpture from 1964—was installed in
September 2014, a New York Daily News article by Jason Molinet
noted that the pop artist hoped that this $3 million, 3-ton structure would become
a magnet for selfies. That indeed has happened—and then some. It took me quite
a long time before I could take this shot without one or more people posing there.
