Whilst Allen Jones was living in New York (1964-65) he discovered a rich fund of imagery in the sexually motivated popular illustration of the 1940s and 1950s. He became well known for exploiting the female form in his work by creating sculptures that depicted ‘human furniture’, a form of bondage and sexual objectification that turns a person’s body into a chair, table or other piece of furniture.
