Description

We are thrilled to present this bold orange hoodie, featuring a unique translation of Robert Indiana's original artwork, "New Glory Penny." This captivating artwork, showcasing both sides of a penny, is brought to life with meticulous attention to detail. On the left chest, you'll find a bouclé patch displaying the words "1 Cent," beautifully capturing the essence of the penny. On the back of the hoodie, a 5-pointed star encloses the letters "USA," paying tribute to the patriotic spirit that the penny represents.

To honor the artist, "Robert Indiana" is elegantly printed on the sleeve in his signature stencil style, adding a touch of authenticity and artistry to this remarkable piece.

Delving into the significance of the artwork, "New Glory Penny" holds a special place in Robert Indiana's artistic journey. In 1963, he was selected as one of six artists commissioned to reimagine the design of US dollar coins. His painting of the "New Glory Penny" represents his unique interpretation of the penny, utilizing his iconic Pop art style. Inspired by the vibrant energy of hand-painted signs and advertisements, Indiana's bright graphics breathe new life into this everyday object.

By wearing this hoodie, you not only embrace the artistic brilliance of Robert Indiana but also carry a piece of American history and the spirit of Pop art. It is a testament to the power of art to transform the ordinary into something extraordinary.
