Ian Swankie on the Essex punk potter to superstar national treasure.
Known for outlandish appearances as his feminine alter ego, Claire, Sir Grayson Perry is firmly part of the art establishment. Arguably one of the world’s best-known contemporary artists, his ceramics, textiles, tapestries and prints are highly sought after. Tackling controversial subjects in a poignant yet witty manner, he holds a mirror to society. This talk examines Perry’s work, his thought-provoking exhibitions, and the unique character inside flamboyant frocks.
