Jones was a seminal—and controversial—member of the British Pop art movement; he’s renowned for highly sexual figurative works that raise questions about the representation and objectification of women. Jones rose to infamy in the 1960's with a series of sculptures that depicted women as furniture, posed for submission and clad in fetish wear. Feminists derided these pieces, yet the female form remained Jones’s primary subject." "An Introduction by Alan Bowness precedes a monograph on Jones's work written by Marco Livingstone, Keeper of Modern Painting at Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool, England. The text runs throughout pages filled with 110 full-color illustrations, designed by Bea Feitler, a New York book designer. Special sections listing works by Jones in private collections, a biography of the artist, a chronological index of works to supplement substantial caption information and lists of one-man exhibitions are included in the back of the book."
