Richard Ansett

Grayson Perry is an award-winning artist best known in the art world for his ceramicworks. To the wider public, he is perhaps equally famous for hiscross-dressing alter ego. This book reveals a unique relationship between Perry and renowned portrait photographer Richard Ansett through a previously unseen archivefromphotoshoots spanning over 10 years.

Ansett astutely captures the wit, style and irreverence of Perry's many complex personas. Beyond the snazzy outfits and cheeky poses, these thematic portrait collections offer wry social commentaries on current and popular phenomena, including the EU referendum, American pop culture and the existential questions of life and death.

At once glossy, fabulous and cutting-edge, Muse: A Portrait of Grayson Perryoffers a complex, fascinating and ultimately affectionate insight into our recently knighted national treasurewith anecdotes and narration from Ansett himself, this is a masterpiece of rhetorical observations and quick-thinking camerawork. Perfect for art geeks, style freaks and Perry's long-devoted following.
