Allen Jones
Royal Academy of Arts, London
Burlington Gardens. Comprising over 80 works, the exhibition will feature examples of Jones' paintings and sculpture, including the iconic furniture works from the late 60s, and new works created especially for this exhibition.
This autumn the Royal Academy of Arts will present the first major exhibition of
Allen Jones' work in the UK since 1995.
As one of the UK's most influential and
celebrated living artists, this will be a long-overdue appraisal of Jones'
comprehensive contribution to British Pop art.
Allen Jones RA will span the artist's
entire career from the 1960s to the present. Comprising over 80 works, the
exhibition will feature examples of Jones' paintings and sculpture, including the
iconic furniture works from the late 60s, and new works created especially for this
exhibition. Rarely-seen drawings will also be displayed to showcase Jones'
exceptional skills as a draughtsman, and the important influence of the medium of
drawing on his practice as a whole.
Moving away from a traditional chronological
approach, the works will be grouped into key sequences, to allow connections and
common themes to emerge and to promote a comprehensive understanding of Jones'
wide-ranging artistic practice.
