If you're actually interested in Perry's art...as opposed to his wearing dresses, his agent, Saatchi Galleries in London wrote to us
and asked us to provide the following link.  Please be aware that much of Perry's material is of an adult nature, featuring explicit sexual references and images.  It's a odd effect, distance shots of pots that are rather attractive in terms of form, design, color and texture and only on close examination does the outre subject matter become apparent.  We distinguish linking to this site, which curiously also feature a children's section at the gallery, because Perry as a winner of the Turner is a legitimate news item, and so is his work.  His work has adult themes but we can't imagine anyone taking a prurient interest in them....although you never know about that:
