Grayson Perry: Sketchbooks (ENG)

A first-time collection of Grayson Perrys sketches, Sketchbooks follows the evolution of his career from art school to the present day. Grayson Perry has been using sketchbooks as a place to record and develop ideas - whether for pots, tapestries, clothes, houses or exhibitions, or for nothing at all - for over thirty years. Bringing together his favourites for the first time and showing some of the finished works that result from these initial drawings, the result is a rich, beautiful book perfect for those who want to know more about an artists creative process. Review quote: previous edition: Perry has become a pin-sharp observer of contemporary class divisions and territories, a cross-dressing Hogarth of the suburbs ... Spanning decades, the sketchbooks of Britains best loved artist reveal a world of whimsy and invention – Guardian, Tim Adams Publisher’s notice: Grayson Perrys first art prize was a large papier-mâché head he awarded to himself as part of a performance art project at college in 1980. Since then he has won many other awards, including the Turner Prize in 2003. He is now one of Britains most celebrated artists and has had major solo exhibitions all over the world.
