A Show For Normal People, 2021
Grayson Perry, A Show For Normal People, offset lithographic poster printed in colours depicting the artist beneath a rainbow with bold lettering, signed and featuring a hand-drawn Alan Measles in black ink
Produced for Grayson Perry's live touring show A Show For Normal People, this colourful offset lithographic poster reflects the artist's longstanding interest in identity, class and contemporary society. Combining bold typography with Perry's unmistakable portrait, the work captures the wit, accessibility and social commentary for which he has become internationally recognised.
This example is signed by Grayson Perry and includes a hand-drawn image of Alan Measles in black ink. Named after Perry's childhood teddy bear, Alan Measles has appeared throughout the artist's career as a recurring symbolic figure and one of the most recognisable motifs in his work.
Issued as an offset lithographic poster in 2021, the work demonstrates Perry's ability to combine the accessibility of printed ephemera with imagery that is instantly recognisable and unmistakably his own. Signed examples with an original drawing of Alan Measles are particularly appealing to collectors, bringing an individual element to a work from one of Britain's best-known contemporary artists.
