His famous \u003cI style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal\"\u003eFurniture Sculptures\u003c\/I\u003e—realistic-looking female figures made of fiberglass and steel—continue to mark the artist’s sensational, spirited rejection of intellectually overburdened abstract art in favor of triviality and the reality of everyday life. The female form, especially the legs, became Jones’s favorite leitmotif, imprinted on the contemporary collective memory and declaring the passion and eroticism between man and woman as an aesthetic principle. Jones succeeded in overcoming the two-dimensional, something his entire oeuvre strives for, through the human body. This publication demonstrates that his work also always questions the lifestyle of today’s society and its penchant for mass consumption.\u003c?xml:namespace prefix = \"o\" ns = \"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office\" \/\u003e\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/FONT\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\n\u003cP class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-US style=\"FONT-FAMILY: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US\"\u003e\u003co:p\u003e\u003cFONT size=2 face=TheSans\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/FONT\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\n\u003cP class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-US style=\"FONT-FAMILY: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US\"\u003e\u003cFONT size=2 face=TheSans\u003eExhibition schedule: Kunsthalle Tübingen, June 16–September 16, 2012 | \u003cSPAN style=\"FONT-FAMILY: TheSans; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt\"\u003e\u003cFONT size=3\u003eUNESCO Weltkulturerbe Völklinger Hütte, Saarbrücken, October\u0026nbsp;12, 2012–June 16, 2013 | Kunstsammlungen Chemnitz, June\u0026nbsp;29–September 29, 2013\u003c\/FONT\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\u003c\/FONT\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\n","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49811848429832,"sku":"9783775733489","price":19.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775733489_d8fd3c58-32a8-4493-b94c-f11f14411d25.jpg?v=1744040293","url":"https:\/\/www.hatjecantz.de\/en\/products\/17112-allen-jones","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
