Allen Jones RA's 52-page book 'On the Road: Parking Markings' takes the reader on a graphic visual journey... by road.0"Since roads were first bisected by a white line, a pictorial language has evolved that, in classic parlance, is the first or Primitive phase in ever-developing visual vocabulary," says Jones. "Parking markings were introduced during my final years as a student. Produced with stencils, these marks are enlivened by human error and chance.0"Because of increasing traffic during the 1960s a change was needed. Yellow represented a new and Classical phase, telling us what we should NOT do," the artist continues. "Familiarity breeds contempt and by the 1990s the problem required desperate measures. Red, the colour of danger, anger and hell marked a third, Baroque phase in the developing language of road marking.0"During the 1950s we were asked politely - in white. During the 1960s we were told - in yellow. During the 1990s we were shouted at - in red. Now the air - is blue."0Jones was elected a Royal Academician in 1986.

Die Serie Maîtresse des britischen Pop-Art-Künstlers Allen Jones hat ihren Ursprung in einem 1976 entstandenen Gemälde, das Jones für ein Filmplakat zum gleichnamigen und kontrovers diskutierten Film von Barbet Schroeder über eine verführerische in Leder gekleidete Domina schuf. In vielfacher Ausführung und im Spiel mit Posen, Farben und Raum hat sich das Motiv der Maîtresse bis 2015 zu einer eigenständigen Werkgruppe in Jones‘ Œuvre entwickelt. Der Katalog versammelt großformatige Arbeiten auf Leinwand, Zeichnungen, Studien auf Papier, eine neu entstandene Siebdruckserie, ein skulpturales Werk sowie Archivmaterial.
