The 1960s was the decade of social revolution, anti-war protests, liberal reforms, civil rights and psychedelia. Skirts got shorter and hair got longer, London swung, the Berlin Wall went up, a man walked on the moon, the Beatles and the Rolling Stones reigned and England even won the world cup.

Born in 1937, Allen Jones is one of Britain's most distinguished artists from the pioneering Pop Movement. He exhibits regularly in Europe, the USA, China and Japan and his paintings, sculptures, prints and watercolours are in important collections worldwide.
