Meaning & Analysis

The work belongs to a broader series of woodcuts made by Perry in 2015 in which the artist experimented for the first time with this traditional printmaking technique. The series, then expanded through other media such as tapestries, follows the life and early demise of Julie, an ordinary woman born and raised in Essex who decides to move to London to pursue her career, and ends up falling in love, twice, and starts a family.

This piece follows Julie’s premature death, the circumstances of which are intentionally left vague by Perry, who nevertheless stated that the motorcycle in Untitled 2 is a precursory to the character’s passing. The piece represents a picture Julie’s late husband found in his pocket upon his wife’s passing, as he nostalgically remembers his promise to “grieve [for her] as deep as Shah Jahan / And build a Taj Mahal upon the Stour”. Forever immortalised in this picture standing in front of the Indian landmark, Julie appears serene and content, whilst the circumstances around the woodcut remind the viewer of her tragic fate.

Following this series, Perry continued his storytelling through new media, using Julie as the main character for some of his tapestries, and even a podcast entitled The Ballad Of Julie Cope, which made Julie one of the artist’s most instantly recognisable characters.

The highest value realised for a work by Grayson Perry was in October 2017, when I Want To Be An Artist fetched £632,750 at Christie's, London. The values achieved for Perry's work at auction regularly land in the hundreds of thousands of pounds.

  • A beacon of British contemporary art, Grayson Perry defies artistic norms with his distinctive blend of wit, satire, and profound social commentary. Renowned for his ceramic masterpieces adorned with intricate narratives, Perry's alter-ego, Claire, adds another layer to his multidimensional artistry. Winner of the Turner Prize in 2003, Perry delves into the complexities of identity, class, gender, and societal norms. His tapestries, sculptures, and drawings showcase a keen insight into the human condition, challenging viewers to confront uncomfortable truths with humour and empathy. Perry's artistic victories consolidate him as disruptor of mainstream expression and as a key player in the contemporary arts scene.
