Grayson Perry is an artist known mainly for his ceramic vases and cross-dressing. He works in several media.

Perry’s vases have classical forms and are decorated in bright colours, depicting subjects at odds with their attractive appearance, e.g. transvestism. There is a strong autobiographical element in his work, in which images of Perry as “Claire”, his female alter-ego, often appear. He was awarded the Turner Prize in 2003 for his ceramics, receiving the prize dressed as Claire.

Conversation and luncheon were held at Tate Modern.
