Posh Art

Grayson Perry, 1992

Posh Art is a fairly early work by the Turner Prize-winning artist Grayson Perry. In its form and imagery it addresses Perry’s concerns with issues of taste, wealth and class. His irreverent sense of humour is evident in the decorative images of ‘posh’ things, which include banknotes and a portrait of Queen Elizabeth I.
