Playing to the Gallery : Helping Contemporary Art in its Struggle to Be Understood

Resumen del libro

I have never read such a stimulating short guide to art' Lynn Barber, Sunday Times

Now Grayson Perry is a fully paid-up member of the art establishment, he wants to show that any of us can appreciate art (after all, there is a reason he's called this book Playing to the Gallery and not 'Sucking up to an Academic Elite'). Based on his hugely popular BBC Radio 4 Reith Lectures and full of pictures, this funny, personal journey through the art world answers the basic questions that might occur to us in an art gallery but seem too embarrassing to ask.

Biografía del autor

Grayson Perry es un artista plástico galardonado con el Premio Turner en 2003. Sus obras reflejan una crítica constante del orden establecido. Más allá de la provocación o el espectáculo, el travestismo de Perry es un modo de hacer suyas las convenciones ajenas para denunciar los estragos de la diferencia.
