Playing to the Gallery: Helping Contemporary Art in Its Struggle to Be Understood

Grayson Perryâ€™s book will overturn everything you thought you knew about â€œartâ€

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 heâ€™s called this book Playing to the Gallery and not Sucking Up to the Academic Elite). This funny, personal journey through the art world answers the basic questions that might occur to us in an art gallery but that weâ€™re too embarrassed to ask. Questions such as: What is â€œgoodâ€ or â€œbadâ€ artâ€”and does it even matter? Is art still capable of shocking us or have we seen it all before? And what happens if you place a piece of art in a rubbish dump?
