Summary

'I have never read such a stimulating short guide to art' Lynn Barber, Sunday Times

Now Grayson Perry is a fully paid-up member of the art establishment, he wants to show that any of us can appreciate art (after all, there is a reason he's called this book Playing to the Gallery and not 'Sucking up to an Academic Elite'). Based on his hugely popular BBC Radio 4 Reith Lectures and full of pictures, this funny, personal journey through the art world answers the basic questions that might occur to us in an art gallery but seem too embarrassing to ask.

Grayson Perry's openness and honesty about what he thinks are thought provoking and inspiring. He introduces us to another way of thinking within the often restricting art world environment. It's not only OK to be different but it is admirable to stand fast with your beliefs.

So inspiring
