Card depicting one of his famous and provocative sculptures of female objects, Chair , made in 1969.

Signed and dated on the back, in black ink, by the artist.

Jones' work, often provocative, is distinguished by the depiction of women in unequivocal positions. His fascination with erotic imagery, the figure of the woman declined in an ambiguous, erotic and fantasized mode, remains the subject recurring and obsessive in his work.

In 1969 he created his very famous series of mannequin sculptures representing pin-ups transformed into furniture: table, coat rack, chair.
