Includes a chronology and checklist of Indiana's work. Robert L. B. Tobin was a notable San Antonio philanthropist (the Tobin Wing at the McNay Art Museum was opened in his honor in 1988). Tobin underwrote 'Don Carlos' for the opening celebration of HemisFair, the official World's Fair, in 1968 where he served as Cultural Vice-President. Robert Indiana was commissioned to create the official poster for HemisFair, during which the largest collection of Indiana's work to date was installed at the McNay Art Museum. With Tobin's involvement with HemisFair, and his close ties to the McNay, it is perhaps during this time that Tobin's friendship with Robert Indiana began to flourish. In the coming years, Tobin became one of Robert Indiana's largest collectors and a number of his paintings and graphics are included in this exhibition.
