Bemerkungen: Kunst-Postkarte von Grayson Perry umseitig mit schwarzem Edding signiert, wischsspurig /// Autogramm Autograph signiert signed signee /// Sir Grayson Perry (born 24 March 1960) is an English artist, writer, broadcaster, performer, drag act and singer. He is known for drag, ceramic vases and tapestries,[1] as well as his observations of the contemporary arts scene, and for dissecting British "prejudices, fashions and foibles".[2] Perry's vases have classical forms and are decorated in bright colours, depicting subjects at odds with their attractive appearance. There is a strong autobiographical element in his work, in which images of Perry as Claire, his female alter ego, and Alan Measles, his childhood teddy bear, often appear. He has made a number of documentary television programmes[3] and has curated exhibitions.[2] He has published two autobiographies, Grayson Perry: Portrait of the Artist as a Young Girl (2007) and The Descent of Man (2016), written and illustrated a graphic novel, Cycle of Violence (2012), written a book about art, Playing to the Gallery (2014), and published his illustrated Sketchbooks (2016). Various books describing his work have been published. In 2013 he delivered the BBC Reith Lectures.[4] Perry has had solo exhibitions at The Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh,[5] the Wallace Collection in London,[6] and the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa, Japan.[5] His work is held in the permanent collections of the British Council and Arts Council,[5] Crafts Council,[7] Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam,[8] Tate[9] and Victoria and Albert Museum, London.[10] Perry was awarded the Turner Prize in 2003. He was interviewed about the win and resulting press in Sarah Thornton's Seven Days in the Art World.[11] In 2008 he was ranked number 32 in The Daily Telegraph's list of the "100 most powerful people in British culture".[12] In 2012, Perry was among the British cultural icons selected by artist Sir Peter Blake to appear in a new version of his most famous artwork — the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album cover — to celebrate the British cultural figures of his life.[13] /// Standort Wimregal GAD-30.278
