Unique work in two parts
The Monumental sculpture ‘Juno’ – named after the roman goddess of marriage and queen of the gods – by Pop Art legend Allen Jones is his first construction in two parts. The innovation of the work is the complete separation of the upper and lower body so that the sculpture, depending upon the place where it is set up, takes up either more or less space. During the process of designing his spatially complex figures, in which the artist was used simple paper models, he realised that a two-part sculpture can be set up in a wide variety of ways, and thus a moment of lively flexibility can be introduced to the usual static of a sculpture. This flexibility in the positioning both in regard to one another and the setting enthused Jones. In spite of the usual rigidity of the cut steel plates it is possible for the artist to imply movement through the relationship of the individual parts.
Covered with a uniform, deeply vibrant shade of red, ‘Juno’ nonetheless shows her remarkably modelled three dimensionality in changing light conditions; sunlight alone creates highlights and deep shadows that convey a volume to the sculpture’s surfaces. These emerging volumes along with the sinuous contours of the figure evoke a naked young woman that has settled herself here. The whole posture of the depicted woman – the chin resting on her hand, hair blowing in the wind and legs wrapped around one another – perhaps call to the mind of the beholder a bather who has lain down with ease on the grass. Her open mouth and alert eyes show her readiness to face the world openly and curiously.
Monumental sculptures by Allen Jones are to be found in multiple prominent places: his work ‘Taxi’ stood at Quarry Bay, Hong Kong, ‘Primavera’ at Roche Court in Wiltshire, ‘Summer’ was displayed on Georgsplatz in Hannover in 2002, and his ‘Head’ permanently ornaments the Milton Keynes Park Trust in Buckinghamshire. In 2006 his ensemble of three sculptures ‘Banquet’ was erected in the Yuzi Paradise Sculpture Park in Guilin, China. Zurich too has been a setting for his work: in 2015 Galerie Gmurzynska presented the exhibition ‘INSIDE OUT’, in which an ensemble of sculptures by Jones was exhibited, which the New York Times described as the "highlight" of the Zurich summer season (The New York Times, 18.06.2015).
Works by the British artist were presented at important pop art exhibitions held at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), the Tate Gallery in London, the Centre Pompidou in Paris and Documenta in Kassel; a major retrospective of the artist took place in 2014 at the Royal Academy in London.
Jones is also represented in important public collections such as the Tate London, the British Museum, the Chicago Museum of Art, the Hirschhorn Museum, the Kunsthalle Bielefeld, the Kunsthalle Hamburg, the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Brussels, the National Gallery of Canada, the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, the Wallraf-Richartz Museum and the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York.
