New Glory Banner is a serigraph from Robert Indiana’s The American Dream series and marks the first work in his long-running reinvention of the American flag. Created in 1963, the piece reinterprets stars and stripes through bold Pop Art forms, abstracting national symbols into rhythmic graphic patterns. The central circular format allows the work to be displayed vertically or horizontally. Originally published by Multiples, Inc. as a felt banner, the work blurs the boundaries between fine art, design, and mass-produced objects.
