The Vanity of Small Differences is Turner Prize-winning artist Grayson Perry’s vibrant exploration of British identity, class, and taste. This richly illustrated book documents Perry’s six large-scale tapestries of the same name, which follow the fictional journey of Tim Rakewell as he moves through the social strata of contemporary Britain.

With Perry’s sharp wit and cultural insight, the work draws on historical references, art, and modern life to examine how our values and aesthetics are shaped. Featuring detailed imagery of the tapestries and commentary from the artist, this book is a striking reflection on modern society.
