“Head in the Wind” by Allen Jones, 2019
Cutter Lane, Greenwich Peninsula
London, May 2023
“There’s a nice circularity to Allen Jones’s new public artwork, Head in the Wind. That’s not just due to the beautiful, swooping locks of the silhouette’s head, but also because the work inadvertently shares its name with a much earlier piece by Jones, made 60 years earlier, back when he was a student in London. During the intervening decades, the artist has found fame as a British pop pioneer, won the admiration of fellow creatives such as the director Stanley Kubrick, and tried himself in another great art-world metropolis, New York. Read on to discover why he believes 'Head in the Wind' bookends his career.” (Allen Jones, Greenwich Peninsula)
