Visualizza wikitesto di The Fetishistic Furniture Sculpture of British Pop Artist Allen Jones

With the fetish film of 50 Shades of Gray, being released this weekend, it is a good time to highlight British artist and sculptor Allen Jones, the way out furniture and its bewildering prices. Critics have said that Jones' work is famous is because it is often labeled as morally repugnant as it seems to objectify women. But Jones argues that female sculptures are artworks first - they just happen to represent women.

Many other have admired this pop artist's work. In fact the art market was seemingly bowled off last year when Sotheby's sold three of Jones's fetish style furniture sculptures (Hat Stand, Table, and Chair). The pieces were created in 1969 and first exhibited in 1970. Sotheby's originally, estimated the sale price to go for $138,500 to $184,750. But they actually sold for a surprising $3.39 million. The three Sixties pieces came from the late millionaire Gunter Sachs. Allen made reproductions of his three sculptures in editions of six. So that Christie's had another set of Jones' three fetish sculptures, for sale a mere month later which fetched $4,279,245.
