Playing to the Gallery by Grayson Perry
Grayson Perry's book will overturn everything you thought you knew about "art"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 the Academic Elite). This funny, personal journey through the art world answers the basic questions that might occur to us in an art gallery but that we're too embarrassed to ask. Questions such as: What is "good" or "bad" art--and does it even matter? Is art still capable of shocking us or have we seen it all before? And what happens if you place a piece of art in a rubbish dump?
He has received numerous honors since then, including the Turner Prize in 2003. He is now one of the most well-known artists in the United Kingdom, with major solo shows around the world. His BBC Reith Lectures in 2013 were the most well-attended since the series began.
