It was 1970 when (reportedly) the first LOVE sculpture made its appearance but its origin goes back at least as far as the '60s and a Museum of Modern Art Christmas card. It may even have been in the formative stages back in the '50s according to Ursinus College. The college reminds us that "by 1973, the image was so popular that the U.S. Postal Service incorporated the design into one of its stamps, which sold about 330 million copies."
In today's world, the LOVE sculpture is as popular as it has ever been. The little paint-your-own pottery operation in London moves a lot of the LOVE art. This fact makes me smile and gosh it can be difficult finding stuff that puts a smile on one's face today.
