Description
In this major monograph on Grayson Perry, now updated and expanded, writer and art historian Jacky Klein explores the artist's work through a discussion of his major themes and subjects. Klein's text is complemented by intimate and perceptive commentaries by Perry on individual pieces, giving unique access to his imaginative world and creative processes.
This third edition not only has updates throughout, but also includes two new chapters, on the 'House for Essex', designed and built in 2015 with Living Architecture (a UK not-for-profit holiday rental company founded by philosopher and writer Alain de Botton, which aims to promote, educate and enhance appreciation of modern architecture), and on 'Identity Politics', covering new work made since the previous edition of this book was published in 2013.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Financial Times describes the book as 'Clear, generous and insightful,' highlighting Klein's success in revealing why Perry is considered a national treasure. The Times praises it as 'Lavish,' guiding readers through Perry's complex world with sharp social insight. World of Interiors calls it 'A gorgeously splashy volume' with invaluable commentary from Perry himself, while Artbookreview commends the sumptuous production and detailed illustrations that deepen appreciation of Perry's work. The Artist notes the inclusion of recent work like 'A House for Essex' in this well-illustrated update.
