"Even if you don’t know the name Robert Indiana, you’ve almost certainly seen the secretive millionaire’s work. The late artist’s Love sculpture is one of the most recognizable images in American pop culture. In this fascinating new book, journalist Bob Keyes chronicles the reclusive Indiana’s last days and the fallout from his death in 2018 – accusations of coercion and elder abuse by some of Indiana’s acquaintances popped up in the months following his passing. Keyes’ book reads almost like a mystery novel; it’s a gripping look at a unique and profoundly sad man. Even if you’re not an art aficionado, you’ll find it hard to put down."
