Literature: Catrin Jones (ed.) and Chris Stephens (ed.), 'Grayson Perry: The Pre-Therapy Years', published by Thames and Hudson Ltd., 2020, ill. p. 69. 'This work is based on a famous medieval relic, the Iron Crown in Monza Cathedral, near Milan…It combines ideas about maleness, religion and monarchy. It has lots of phallic imagery and many of the ingredients of my early work: a space shuttle, a Celtic cross, a kind of Willendorf Venus, an American car, a knife and a pistol. The first space shuttle mission had been launched in 1981 and I’d taken a great interest in it; we all thought it would blow itself into smithereens.' - Grayson Perry ('Grayson Perry: The Pre-Therapy Years', edited by Catrin Jones and Chris Stephens, published by Thames and Hudson Ltd., London, on the occasion of the exhibition at the Holburne Museum, Bath, 2020). 'This work was in Grayson's first show at my King's Road gallery in 1984. He made this at art school (Portsmouth College of Art) where bronze was available for students. Otherwise it would have been too expensive. It’s a surprisingly heavy object.' - James Birch Please note that this lot has been promised for a major exhibition scheduled for 2028. 19 September 2021 - 30 January 2022.
