Robert Indiana's Six is part of his ONE through ZERO (The Ten Numbers) series, a conceptual exploration of the human life cycle through numerals. Each number from one to zero represents a stage in life, with Six symbolizing maturity or the peak of life. Indiana's use of industrial materials and bold typography reflects his interest in American commercial signage and culture. This sculpture, executed in 2003, embodies the artist's signature style of combining text and form to convey deeper meanings.
