In 2017 Serpentine presented a major exhibition 'The Most Popular Art Exhibition Ever!' of new work by Grayson Perry, one of the most astute commentators on contemporary society and culture. As part of the exhibition, the artist's hand-made ceramic work Long Pig, 2017, featured at the entrance to the show. This 'Little Pig' piggy bank emulates its larger counterpart whereby the owner can 'vote', much like the 'Long Pig', by inserting coins into the appropriate slots that they identify with.

On The Occasion of the 50th Anniversary of Serpentine, we are delighted to re-release the 'Little Pig' piggy banks to celebrate the legacy of the gallery and Grayson Perry's contribution to one of the most popular exhibitions in Serpentine history.

Artist

Grayson Perry

Sir Grayson Perry (b. 1960) is an English contemporary artist, writer and broadcaster. He is known for his ceramic vases, tapestries, and cross-dressing, as well as his observations of the contemporary arts scene, and for dissecting British "prejudices, fashions and foibles". Perry's vases have classical forms and are decorated in bright colours, depicting subjects at odds with their attractive appearance. There is a strong autobiographical element in his work, in which images of Perry as "Claire", his female alter-ego, and "Alan Measles", his childhood teddy bear, often appear. He has made a number of documentary television programmes and has curated exhibitions. He has published two autobiographies, Grayson Perry: Portrait of the Artist as a Young Girl (2007) and The Descent of Man (2016), written and illustrated a graphic novel, Cycle of Violence (2012), written a book about art, Playing to the Gallery (2014), and published his illustrated Sketchbooks (2016). Various books describing his work have been published. In 2013 he delivered the BBC Reith Lectures.
