A Westport Ride With an Acclaimed British Artist

Westport best-selling author Jane Green, a native of Britain, rides her Remarkable Bookcycle at Compo Beach today alongside British artist Grayson Perry, whom she described on Facebook as “one of the greatest living contemporary artists in the world.” Perry is in the United States filming a documentary on the American Dream. The New York Times has called Perry an artist and media personality who has “made himself a household name in Britain by sculpting flamboyant engraved pots, stitching bold tapestries that grapple with modern social issues, and dressing, for some public appearances, as his female alter ego, Claire.” (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Contributed photo
