Grayson Perry

Friday, 9 October 2009 - Saturday, 14 November 2009

Victoria Miro, 16 Wharf Road, Islington, N1 7RW

How Much: Free!
New work by maverick potter and occasional trannie Grayson Perry goes on show this autumn at Victoria Miro.

The Walthamstow Tapestry incorporates Perry's trademark blend of high and low culture - arcane historical references vie for attention with smatterings of pop-tastic ephemera.

Perry is a great craftsman and a unique voice inn contemporary art - this should be fantastic.

Extended until 14.11.09.
