A propos de cet article

An essential companion to one of the key contemporary art works of the last decade, Grayson Perry's series of tapestries, The Vanity of Small Differences. Telling a story of class and taste, aspiration and identity, tapestry series The Vanity of Small Differences saw Turner Prize-winning artist Grayson Perry travel the length and breadth of the UK, on safari amongst the taste tribes of Britain. In his BAFTA award winning three-part documentary series All in the Best Possible Taste (Channel 4), Perry explores the emotional investment we make in the things we choose to live with, wear, eat, read or drive. The Vanity of Small Differences is the beautiful publication, covered with real cloth, accompanying the Hayward Touring exhibition with the same name. The book features Perrys six vibrant and highly detailed tapestries bearing the influence both of early Renaissance painting and of William Hogarths moralising series, literally weaving characters, incidents and objects from the artists research into a modern day version of Hogarths A Rakes Progress (1733). With an inventive and elegant design from Pony Ltd, this fascinating publication includes an extensive array of full-colour reproductions of Perrys tapestries, complete with photos of the artists sketches and preparatory material for the tapestries themselves. Journalist Suzanne Moore (Guardian, Mail on Sunday) contributes to the book with an incisive, moving and highly personal reflection on questions of class, taste and their relative values. Also featuring a new text by Grayson Perry, alongside extensive commentary on each of the tapestries, while curator Adam Lowes essay explores the process of their making and their place in the digital age, The Vanity of Small Differences is an essential guide to the work of one of Britains best-loved artists. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…
