Allen Jones Exhibition in Paris Coincides with Kim Kardashian Met Gala Sculpture
In Paris, Sceners Gallery presents "Forms and Temptations," showcasing the work of British Pop Art innovator Allen Jones in partnership with Almine Rech. The exhibition includes Jones's iconic fiberglass female sculptures, such as "Red Refrigerator," "Cover Story 4/4," and "Kind of Blue," complemented by furniture pieces from Carlo Bugatti, Émile-Jacques Ruhlmann, and Jean Dunand. This event commenced three weeks prior to Kim Kardashian's 13th appearance at the Met Gala in 2026, where she donned a custom fiberglass breastplate crafted by Jones. At 89, Jones traveled from England to attend the opening and was featured in a Vogue video capturing Kardashian's fitting. Sceners, established in 2024 by Jonathan Haddad and David Atlan, specializes in design and decorative art within the secondary market.
