Playing to the Gallery: Helping Contemporary Art in Its Struggle to Be Understood (English Edition)

Grayson Perry’s book will overturn everything you thought you knew about “art”

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 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 we’re too embarrassed to ask. Questions such as: What is “good” or “bad” art—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?

Product description作者简介Grayson Perry is an English artist particularly known for his colourfully decorated ceramic vases. As a teenager he identified as a transvestite, and began to study art. He completed a BA in fine art at Portsmouth Polytechnic in 1982, having exhibited his first piece of pottery in 1980. He went on to develop his pottery skills and, following a solo exhibition of his work in Amsterdam, he was awarded the Turner Prize in 2003. He was appointed a CBE 2013 for services to contemporary art.

Perry’s alter-ego Claire, who wears colourful dresses and feminine clothing, makes regular public appearances. Perry’s autobiography of his early years, Portrait of the Artist as a Young Girl, was published in 2006. Among his numerous television and radio credits are the documentary Why Men Wear Frocks; The South Bank Show; Imagine; All In The Best Possible Taste with Grayson Perry; and Desert Island Discs. --This text refers to an alternate kindle_edition edition.

中译本《哗众取宠》内容简介  · · · · · ·

《哗众取宠》是英国十分受欢迎的当代艺术家、伦敦艺术大学校长格雷森·佩里为对艺术感兴趣的普通大众写的一本当代艺术入门指南。他曾受邀在2013年英国BBC第四频道

《里斯讲座》中介绍艺术品如何进入市场，演讲内容广受好评。

全书文笔幽默生动，语言简练。作为身处当代艺术世界多年的权威人士，格雷森·佩里反而希望带领大众打破权威，力图让没有足够学术和历史知识的普通人也能欣赏艺术，在艺术中生活。书中涉及内容广泛，从什么是艺术、如何判断一件物品是否属于艺术，到艺术与金钱的关系、艺术品在市场中的流通方式，再到如何客观看待艺术家、评论家、媒体对艺术的态度，最后对艺术爱好者、艺术院校学生提出了关于“如何在艺术世界中找到自我”的建议，既介绍了扎实的知识背景，也在犀利的观点之余提供了“平凡人怎样进入艺术世界“的关键指导。
