A towering message of LOVE stands majestically at Aventura Mall – a reminder of our community’s resilience, what has kept us connected, and what is bringing us together again. The sculpture by American pop icon Robert Indiana is a focal point of Aventura Mall’s growing collection of world-class art and has quickly become one of the most instagrammable locations.
Families, fashionistas and our favorite pups – all enjoy sharing major LOVE. As you capture those meaningful, bright and heartwarming moments, remember to tag @AventuraMall and use #AventuraMall. We want to see your pictures and share the #LOVE too!

Indiana’s two-row rendering of the word, with its tilted “O,” is one of the most recognizable works of modern art in the world. The famous design emerged from deep influences in Indiana’s life, from his early exposure to religion to his father’s career. Indiana’s 1966 masterpiece originally began as a Christmas card, morphing into a painting and eventually into sculpture. Indiana would spend the rest of his life turning it into sculptures, stamps and even adapting it to HOPE to support Barack Obama. Indiana passed away in 2018.
Today, world-renowned destinations from New York City and Philadelphia — home of the famous LOVE Park — to Tokyo and Singapore celebrate the work of Indiana. The famed installation has also been translated into Spanish, Hebrew and other languages, and its omnipresent message is imprinted in our collective consciousness.
