BBC Radio 4 - Start the Week, Grayson Perry on contemporary art

Tom Sutcliffe talks to Grayson Perry, Penelope Curtis, Philip Davis and Nicholas Lovell.

Tom Sutcliffe talks to artist Grayson Perry, curator Penelope Curtis, academic Philip Davis and business consultant Nicholas Lovell.

Tom Sutcliffe discusses the role and place of contemporary art in today's global, digital world with the artist Grayson Perry. While the Director of Tate Britain Penelope Curtis looks back to a time when images held such power and caused such outrage that they had to be destroyed, in an exhibition on iconoclasm. Philip Davis offers a defence of the value of reading serious literature. And Nicholas Lovell looks at the money that artists can make, using the internet to change the way they relate to their fans.
Producer: Katy Hickman.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
