Almine Rech Spotlights Allen Jones and Kim Kardashian Met Gala Collaboration
On June 10, 2026, Almine Rech spotlighted a collaboration between British artist Allen Jones and Kim Kardashian for the Met Gala 2026. Jones designed a bespoke dress for Kardashian, with the leather component fabricated by Whitaker Malem. The work extends Jones' exploration of the body, sculpture and fashion, referencing his 1978 piece Body Armour and the 2021 sculpture Cover Story 4/4 shown at Almine Rech Paris, Turenne in 2024.
The Signal
The project places Jones' practice at the intersection of art and celebrity culture, offering collectors a visible demonstration of how his themes translate into high-profile contexts. Such crossovers can broaden institutional and market interest in an artist's existing body of work while reinforcing the gallery's role in connecting historical pieces to contemporary platforms.
