Head by Allen Jones (1990)
Head is a simply constructed yet powerful sculpture in which the artist has used two dimensional silhouettes to create a three-dimensional form. The figure suggests a tent structure and initially seems to be an entirely abstract piece. As the viewer walks around the human form reveals itself. The artist deliberately constructed the piece to encourage visitors to spend time and explore it. Made of Corten steel which weathers over time to create a textured surface.
