Grayson Perry: Delusions of Grandeur

Grayson Perry, I Know Who I Am, 2024.

Mar 28 – Oct 26, 2025
Hertford House, Manchester Square, London W1U 3BN, United Kingdom

The British artist Grayson Perry, winner of the Turner Prize in 2003, calls himself the “transvestite potter.” In fact, he is a cross-dresser who has invented a female alter-ego: Claire. Together, Grayson and Claire critique British culture, society, and style through ceramic vessels, tapestries, and paintings in explosive color. This exhibition of 40 new works by Perry questions the nature of craft-making and the artist’s authenticity in a digital future. Works by “outsider” artists such as Aloïse Corbaz and Madge Gill are part of the show. —Elena Clavarino
