His controversial works, such as 'Hatstand,' 'Table,' and 'Chair,' feature female figures as furniture, challenging societal norms and sparking debates on objectification in art. .Painter and sculptor Allen Jones was a seminal?and controversial?member of the British Pop art movement; he's renowned for highly sexual figurative works that raise questions about the representation and objectification of women. Jones rose to infamy in the 1960s with a series of sculptures that depicted women as furniture, posed for submission and clad in fetishwear. Feminists derided these pieces, yet the female form remained Jones's primary subject. He has made photographs?notably of Kate Moss in a gold breastplate of his design?and stylized oil paintings, watercolors, and prints that reference fashion, dancing, and cabaret. Jones has exhibited in London, Zürich, Hong Kong, Shanghai, St. Louis, and Lisbon. His work sells for millions on the secondary market and belongs in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, the Tate, the National Portrait Gallery in London, the Stedelijk Museum, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, and the Nagaoka Museum, among other institutions.Peter Webb is a lecturer in Canadian literature at McGill University.

Peter Duchin (typed note saying "hope you like it", one page, New York, 29 January 1962); In 1962, Peter Duchin recorded an album called "In the Duchin Manner, " which features songs by Alan Jay Lerner and his longtime writing partner, Frederick Loewe. Duchin was the son of famed pianist Eddy Duchin, and he launched his own successful career as a pianist and bandleader in 1962. .Provenance: Estate of Alan Jay Lerner, (1918-1986):.Alan Jay Lerner is celebrated for his enduring and engaging contributions to musical theater, including 'My Fair Lady', 'Camelot', and 'Paint Your Wagon', among many others.

Having been 'completely through the MSS' he lists those he likes best: 'the Rhapsodies (especially No. 1 - also No. 5 and No. 3 - especially the opening subject of No. 5). I do like the G minor, but somehow I hardly think the G major section goes well with it, and it is scarcely so interesting, to my mind.' He comments on his favourites among the 'other things'. He gives his opinion regarding some 'Themes and Variations' in which 'it seems to me that you have tied yourself down harmonically more strictly than is necessary in modern variations'. He concludes with the opinion that she does not 'quite grasp the structural organism of sonata style, so to speak. I think your "métier" lies beyond any doubt more in the direction of detached pieces than of works which require sustained structural and organic interest and ideas different in atmosphere, so to speak, from those suitable for lyric music.' He will 'probably be in Anerley all the Christmas vacation', and would be 'very glad to call and talk over the things "viva voce"'.
