This monumental, six metres high sculpture weighing 3 tons shows two entwined figures, and was originally inspired by the international communication of dance, a universally recognised symbol of harmony. This is expressed in the flowing male and female forms and in the sculpture's flat steel sections which make reference to the Chinese ribbon dance.

Deeply influenced by Jung's and Nietzsches' philosophies, Allen Jones R.A. demonstrates that the creation of art depends on artists merging the male and female elements of their natures. Thus the figures melt into one another.

Jones is one of Britain's most distinguished artists, with paintings and sculptures in the Tate Gallery and the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington DC, the Museum of 20th Century Art in Vienna, and the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam.
