Thames & Hudson publish new monograph on Grayson Perry on 5 October 2009

In this first major monograph on the artist, writer and art historian Jacky Klein explores Perry's work through a discussion of his major themes and subjects. Her text is complemented by a series of intimate, insightful commentaries on individual pieces by the artist himself, giving unique access to his imaginative world and creative processes. Over 150 of Perry's works are illustrated, as well as a rich selection of visual material that has inspired him from Afghan war rugs, medieval altarpieces and satirical prints to the paintings of Pieter Bruegel, Anslem Kiefer and the American Outsider artist Henry Darger.  With an up-to-date biography, bibliography and exhibition history, this definitive book explores fully the achievements of Perry's twenty-five year career.
