Grayson Perry
Piggy Bank

2017

About the Item

Grayson Perry Piggy Bank, 2017 White ceramic piggy bank painted in blue and glazed, with a rubber stopper, contained in the original cardboard box.
 9 × 21 × 9 cm
 Grayson Perry is known for his ceramic works, including his iconic piggy banks. These piggy banks are not your typical childhood coin collectors; instead, they are intricately designed and often carry profound messages about society, politics, and culture. Each piggy bank is handcrafted by Perry and adorned with colorful and elaborate patterns, symbols, and imagery. Despite their playful appearance, these piggy banks serve as vessels for Perry's commentary on contemporary issues, such as consumerism, inequality, and the value of art. By subverting the traditional concept of the piggy bank, Perry invites viewers to reflect on the role of money in society and the deeper meanings behind material wealth. His piggy banks have become highly sought-after pieces of contemporary art, prized not only for their aesthetic appeal but also for their conceptual depth and social relevance.
