Widely known for his outlandish appearances dressed as his feminine alter ego Claire, Grayson Perry is now a core part of the art establishment. He is Turner Prize winner, Royal Academician, Reith lecturer, internationally-respected artist and popular broadcaster who has become a household name. This talk by art and cultural specialist Ian Swankie will examine Grayson Perry’s work, his exciting and thought-provoking exhibitions, and the unique character inside the flamboyant frocks.
