Lot Essay

‘This is what [Perry] is best at: nimble social observation laced with sardonic knowingness. He’s a sarky collector of telling details who uses humour as his primary weapon… The DNA of this quintessentially British cheekiness can be traced back to Hogarth... Like Hogarth, Perry uses humour as both a weapon and a delivery system connecting him to the bigger audience he seeks to address.’
– Waldemar Januszczak
