Grayson Perry

Grayson Perry works in a variety of media, but is best known for the ceramics he has been making since the early 1980s, which are decorated with figures, objects and text. He 'wants to make something that lives with the eye as a beautiful piece of art, but on closer inspection, a polemic or an ideology will come out of it', and there is also a strong autobiographical element in his work. His first exhibition of ceramics was held in London in December 1983, and he was awarded the Turner Prize in 2003. Perry is represented by the Victoria Miro Gallery and major solo exhibitions of his work have taken place at Mudam, Luxembourg (2008), 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa, Japan (2007), Andy Warhol Museum, Pittsburgh (2006), Barbican Art Gallery, London (2002) and the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam (2002). Perry has also curated two exhibitions in Britain: Unpopular Culture, de la Warr Pavilion (then touring) (2008) and The Charms of Lincolnshire, The Collection, Lincoln (2006). In 2009, Thames and Hudson published Grayson Perry, an anthology of his work by Jacky Klein.
