One of the world’s most iconic and abused pieces of art gets the salty Stereo Hell American Apparel makeover at Wooster and Grand in SoHo, again Dovingly paying tribute to The Man Himself. If only Charney spelled his given name “Dove!” Notice that the woman’s heavily-lipsticked mouth looks like a ‘D’ and the thick red areola of her left breast is an ‘O.’ But where’s the ‘V?’ Put your imagination in the gutter for a second, and I think you’ll come up with the answer. Incredibly, Robert Indiana never trademarked his “Love,” so our prankster doesn’t have to worry about copyright infringement. Heck, if I was the AA Colonel, I’d pay the artist to put one of these red DOVs up in every retail outlet, maybe put a line drawing of a dildo where the ‘E’ would be. Brand yourself Charney! Just fyi: The headline on this poster is from this real American Apparel ad.
