Story4.5 out of 5 stars 85
It's easy to feel insecure around art and its appreciation, as though we cannot enjoy certain artworks if we don't have a lot of academic and historical knowledge. But if there's one message that I want you to take away it's that anybody can enjoy art and anybody can have a life in the arts - even me! For even I, an Essex transvestite potter, have been let in by the artworld mafia.

Would you listen to Playing to the Gallery again? Why?
You can't afford an art piece created by Grayson Perry so for a single Audible credit have a listen to his insightful contemporary art world overview. I did and will again.
What did you like best about this story?
Listening is like being with Perry after his bath but before the makeup. Although Perry is in his customary drag attire when delivering his orations there are no distractions from his messages which are humorously honest and at times ...just honest.
Which character – as performed by Grayson Perry – was your favorite?
Grayson Perry is a character of himself in this biographical reflective psychoanalysis of the contemporary art world.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
A little laughter and a lot of reflection.
Any additional comments?
A trustworthy one point perspective of contemporary art history from the self proclaimed cynical artist Grayson Perrry .
