SUBMISSION: One to Forty-Nine (c. 1968) by Alexander Girard. Gift of the Estate of Xenia S. Miller to the Indianapolis Museum of Art

Missed this. Saw in person at the Miller House, just inside the front door. Totally charming, especially in a house made of squares.

In 1972, Alexander Girard’s One to Forty-Nine (MH2010.3) was being damaged by moths. Once the moths were killed, the box with feathers was treated with hair spray. Check out the note found in the Miller House and Garden Collection.

Okay, this is a tough one, but can you guess who designed this modern entrance in a Victorian #Indiana building.

The #Indiana Arsenal, which was completed in 1867, was used until after he end of the Spanish-American War, about 1903, as the store house for artillery and other weapons. (at Arsenal Technical High School)

Robert Indiana = Nice guy. After his first one man show toured and stopped in Indianapolis in 1968, he left a signed copy of the catalogue to the public library. (at Indianapolis Marion County Public Library - Central Branch (IMCPL Central))

My favorite from Roland Hobart’s 1972 portfolio of five prints commemorating the 175th anniversary of #Indiana. On sale tonight at Antique Helper auctions. #popart #indy
