Grayson Perry

Published in 2017 by Rizzoli, this monograph serves as a comprehensive visual survey of the work of Grayson Perry, the celebrated British contemporary artist known for his ceramics, tapestries, and cross-dressing persona. The book arrived at a moment when Perry's influence had transcended the traditional art world, solidifying his role as a prominent social commentator and television personality in the United Kingdom. It curates a broad selection of his intricate, narrative-driven works, which often explore themes of class, identity, and the idiosyncrasies of British life.

The design of the volume reflects Perry’s signature aesthetic, which balances high-art tradition with folk-art sensibilities and a distinct, often jarring, visual humor. By providing an expansive overview of his practice, the publication aims to contextualize the subversive nature of his pottery and textiles within the broader canon of modern art. It was released to positive reception from critics who praised its accessibility and the way it successfully translated the tactile, multifaceted nature of Perry’s exhibitions into a printed format.
