I saw this piece (which obviously pulls from Robert Indiana’s famous Love sculpture) for the first time at Art Basel this year. While I was browsing around the booth, a father and his daughter appeared by my side. She immediately pointed up at the piece and demanded an explanation. “That’s an interpretation of the Love sculpture that your mother has,” he offered. The child looked confused. “No Daddy,” she precociously insisted, “P-O-R-N what does that mean?” Without hesitation her father cleared his throat, took a quick glance around and tried again. “Oh… Well Honey, that stands for Play Only Really Nice.” Before she could ask anymore questions, he scooped her up and they were gone.
