Grayson Perry for Liberty Shirley Smith

In celebration of Sir Grayson Perry’s 65th birthday, London’s Wallace Collection has curated Delusions of Grandeur, an exhibition on Perry’s life and work. 

The exhibition’s central muse, Shirley Smith – a character invented by Perry - has inspired his original design for Liberty’s 150th anniversary collection. Conceived by Perry as an outsider artist, Smith’s obsession with the Wallace Collection forms the basis for this eclectic design, where one can spot a crude version of Hertford house as well as various cats which are another noted passion of hers.
