Grayson Perry is one of Britain’s most celebrated contemporary
artists and cultural figures. This book, which includes first sight
of new and previously unpublished works, is published to accompany
the largest-ever retrospective of Perry’s art. It offers a
vibrant insight into his life and work, from his youth in rural
Essex to sell-out stage shows at the Royal Albert Hall. Grayson
Perry vividly reflects on his art, life and career, remembering the
sources of inspiration and influences along the way. Victoria Coren
Mitchell’s thought-provoking contribution considers the role of
humour in Perry’s art, highlighting the often-underestimated
effort involved in being at once a serious artist and a lovable
character. Patrick Elliott provides an illuminating biographical
essay of the artist. The reader is also given a fascinating glimpse
into the technique and process behind Perry’s prints, pots and
tapestries. Showcasing 76 exhibited works, the book covers the full
range and breadth of his astonishing career.
