ALLEN JONES
Royal Academy of Arts
Burlington House
Piccadilly - London
13/11/2014 - 25/1/2015
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.
