Description: GRAYSON PERRY THE CHARMS OF LINCOLNSHIRE TEA TOWEL - RED - NEW On offer is a fabulous cotton tea towel from Grayson Perry. It features the Untitled (Exhibition) print, 2008. This printed tea-towel was made for sale alongside his exhibition The Charms of Lincolnshire at the Victoria Miro Gallery, London, 2006 (first shown at The Collection). For this show Perry selected historic artefacts – everything from toys, costume and bibles to game-keepers’ traps, coffin plates and a wooden hearse, from various museums of rural life and social history in Lincolnshire. These were shown in conjunction with his own works – including dolls, vases, plates, and an embroidered sampler, all of which were designed to blend together in what was described as “a three-dimensional narrative poem” exploring death, childhood, religion, folk art, hunting and the feminine (a theme of particular interest to Perry, who is a transvestite). Many of the objects in the exhibition are depicted in the image on the tea-towel, with Lincoln Cathedral in the background and with various phallic fungi prominent in the foreground. The title of the exhibition evokes a bucolic cliché of National Trust England; Perry chose to design a tea-towel as a reference to the ubiquitous souvenir tea-towels found in every NT and country-house gift shop. Dimensions: Height: 47.6 cm, Width: 76 cm. It would look amazing framed up. Brand new. All of our items come from a pet and smoke free environment. Please take the time to see the other interesting items I currently have listed. I do combine postage for multiple purchases. Thanks for looking!
