Grayson Perry
Over the years, Grayson Perry has become a national treasure. Storming onto the art scene in the 90s, Perry's notoriety with the masses was solidified when he won the prestigious Turner Prize in 2003.
A Perfect Match - Showing at Victoria Miro, London
You can see Grayson Perry's most recent show at Victoria Miro in London. Posh Cloths brings together a body of work spanning over the last eight years. Tapestry and textiles have been a constant method of communication throughout Perry's career and have allowed the exploration of core themes such as classical myths, religion, politics and consumerism to be depicted.

Upon visiting Victoria Miro to see Post Cloths, you are confronted by four enormous tapestries that consume your attention for a very long time. This mastery of composition and relatability is why Perry is such a British icon in the art world.

Why is Grayson Perry for you?
Perry's works are in high demand and fetch high prices at auctions, making them a potentially lucrative investment. More than 60% of Perry's artwork at auction sold at or above the high estimate in 2022.
The cultural commentary that Perry's work addresses contend with major themes of gender, social class and identity. This firmly sets Perry's significance in the contemporary art world.
You may be more familiar with Claire, Grayson's alter ego, as she will often attend public events.
Another big part of Perry's inner circle is Alan Measles. The childhood teddy appears throughout his artwork and Perry has said that "I needed a God I actually believed in, so I chose him."
