Anyone know anything about Pop art?

Post by Marino »

I know there are many bright sparks on the OT Forum.

So I am wondering do any of you know anything about Allen Jones the artist. I am trying to find out about a particular print that I just can not find on the net.

It is signed in pencil which is his trade mark of personal work. Or so I am told.
The picture is of a very sexy curvy lady in rubber hold ups and stilletoes.

It is titled "What do you mean? What do I mean"
Are you an art boff that can give me some advice on this print.
Thanks in advance.

Marino

The pose is similar to the Pirelli 1973 plate f.

But it is at least a 1968 print as that's when he signed it. It's about 42 cms wide and approx 144 in height.

I tell you I have searched and searched and so have some of my friends and none of us can find the bugger anywhere.

thanks for the help here guys.

Thanks Randyandy.

Yes I have tried most galleries and auction houses on line. I think I will take a trip up to Christies and see if they can help.

I had a look in my pop art book and the only Allen Jones art listed im afraid is Perfect Match along with a little biog. But tbh from what I have read I think the title is probably different to the one you have....


ways and MEANS?



any of those? from a little messing around on google, I'd guess maybe it was called Ways and Means because if theres no return result for your title it seems unlikely it existed publically

Sorry can't help you but I know Kubrick wanted to borrow his furniture for the Korova Milk Bar in Clockwork Orange.
