Allen Jones (1937-)

Beautiful letter on provocative stationery, revealing a naked woman, from behind, a nod to his pop art on women as objects.

“Dear Gabriele, I go to New York on the morning of January 26 until the 31 of January. It seems that we will miss each other this time. Thank you so much for the cuttings and invitation to myself and the family. Let's hope it won't be too long before we meet again. Allen. »
_______________________________________
Jones's often provocative work is distinguished by its depiction of women in unambiguous positions. His fascination with erotic imagery, the figure of woman presented in an ambiguous, erotic, and fantasized way, remains the recurring and obsessive subject of his work.
In 1969 he created his very famous series of mannequin sculptures representing pin-ups transformed into furniture: table, coat rack, chair.
