Solo exhibition featuring artwork by Grayson Perry
2003 Turner prize winner Grayson Perry will be showing a new work The Walthamstow Tapestry at the Victoria Miro Gallery in London. The tapestry explores the emotional resonance of brand names in our lives and our quasi-religious relationship to consumerism.
Born in Chelmsford, Essex in 1960, Grayson Perry lives and works in London. He uses the seductive qualities of ceramics and other art forms to make stealthy comments about societal injustices and hypocrisies, and to explore a variety of historical and contemporary themes.
Starting Friday 9 October – Saturday 7 November 2009

NB: Thames & Hudson will be publishing a new book on the artist by Jacky Klein to coincide with this exhibition on 5th October 2009, priced at £35.00.
The tapestry was on display during Frieze week and the images show details from Perry’s work.
