Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Turner Prize-winning artist Grayson Perry gives the 2013 Reith Lectures, presented by Sue Lawley. Marcel Duchamp famously declared that a urinal was a work of art. It sometimes seems that anything qualifies, from a pile of sweets on a gallery floor to an Oscar-winning actress asleep in a box. So how does the ordinary art lover decide? In four lectures recorded in front of audiences in London, Liverpool and Londonderry, self-proclaimed 'transvestite potter' Grayson Perry discusses what makes him an artist, and asks what are the limits of contemporary art. He reflects on the idea of 'quality', and examines who and what defines what we see and value as art.
