The Sceners Gallery in Paris is hosting “Forms and Temptations,” an exhibition of works by British Pop Art pioneer Allen Jones, coinciding with Kim Kardashian wearing a Jones-inspired fiberglass breastplate at the 2026 Met Gala. The show features Jones’s eroticized female mannequins and sculptures, including “Red Refrigerator” and “Cover Story 4/4,” displayed alongside high-end decorative furniture from designers like Carlo Bugatti and Émile-Jacques Ruhlmann. Jones, now 88, collaborated with Kardashian on her Met Gala look, which re-edited a cast from 1967/68.
The exhibition matters because it highlights the enduring influence of Allen Jones on fashion and pop culture, bridging the worlds of fine art, design, and celebrity. By placing Jones’s provocative works in dialogue with collector-grade furniture, Sceners Gallery underscores the growing intersection of decorative art and contemporary sculpture, while Kardashian’s high-profile endorsement brings renewed attention to Jones’s legacy and the ongoing relevance of British Pop Art in the 21st century.
