Notă biografică

Grayson Perry's first art prize was a large papier-mâché head he awarded to himself as part of a performance art project at college in 1980. Since then he has won many other awards, including the Turner Prize in 2003. He is now one of Britain's most celebrated artists and has had major solo exhibitions all over the world. His 2013 BBC Reith Lectures were the most popular lectures since the series began.


Recenzii

It's unputdownable! It's really relevant to anyone who does anything ... A great book ... Grayson is brilliant
A visual and intellectual delight
Punchy, mischievous ... Hugely entertaining. You could, genuinely, take an aphorism or a quote from every second page ... This is splendid, transgressive stuff ... a love letter to art ... a thing of pleasure: petite, luxuriously printed, a mischievous little hymn to 21st-century inclusivity
It reveals Perry to be not just an artist but a wordsmith, too... It is acute and funny at the same time. This, I think, is why people love Perry so much.
A joy to read
A polemic for inclusivity... The great thing about Perry's statement of it here is that you are always convinced that he believes it and lives by it
It's unputdownable! It's really relevant to anyone who does anything ... A great book ... Grayson is brilliant
