I like Grayson Perry. He puts his brain gear before engaging his mouth - unlike many out there in the rarefied atmospheres of the planet Art. He's popped up on the box occasionally commenting on the current state of art and I generally agree with his opinions. At least he talks in English and not art-bollocks. Always a bonus.

nice art as well from Perry

From 60 odd squids on Amazonk, and paperback reprint 15 GBP.

Product Description
Grayson Perry, famous for his ceramic vases decorated with shocking and unconventional imagery, is one of a generation of contemporary British artists to have emerged on the international stage in the last two decades. He shot to fame in 2003 when he won the prestigious Turner Prize, collecting the award wearing a lilac babydoll dress and red pumps. In this lavishly illustrated monograph, Jacky Klein explores Perrys work through a discussion of his major themes and subjects, such as class or conflict. Her text is complemented by a series of intimate, insightful commentaries on individual pieces by the artist himself. The book features some 150 of Perrys works as well as a rich selection of the visual material that has inspired him, from Afghan war rugs, medieval altarpieces and satirical prints to the paintings of Pieter Brueghel, Anselm Kiefer and the American Outsider artist Henry Darger.With an up-to-date biography, bibliography and exhibition history, this definitive book is the first to explore fully the achievements of Perrys twenty-five-year career. This special signed edition of the definitive book on Grayson Perry, has a binding design by the artist himself.

your probably best off looking on artnet quite a few galleries carry his work and it's priced more reasonably than you might think, good luck with it

Victoria Miro Gallery is your best bet.

Victoria Miro are his gallery, they had his amazing tapestry at Frieze art fair last year. i too passed on Print for a Politician- with big regrets!!. His biography - Portrait of an artist as a young girl is a great read.

The tapestry is an edition actually, albeit of only 3, available from Paragon Press if you've got a 7 metre wall to put it on!

You might try at Andipa Gallery but I'm afraid it will be quite expensive.

Artist Grayson Perry talks to Matthew Stadlen about the burden of being an artist, the definition of taste, why he thinks shock is a tired concept and wearing women's clothes.

I m not familiar with his work
But since my neighbour bought one on silk I got to admit I m curious about his work..

I do have this original doodle by him. Had for quite a long time. Unfortunately some of the ink faded which is a shame. No idea what to do with it. Often thought about trying to contact him to see if he would sort it.
