Grayson Perry’s Sponsored by You (2019) is a vibrant color etching that blends satire, humor, and sharp social critique. Depicting Perry’s iconic alter egos Alan Measles and Claire cruising through Silicon Valley in a flamboyant supercar, the print unpacks themes of wealth, consumerism, and the contradictions of modern philanthropy.

With references to tax havens, luxury culture, and the language of digital capitalism, the artwork captures Perry’s unmistakable mix of wit and critique. This limited-edition print exemplifies his ability to merge biting commentary with highly detailed and visually striking imagery, making it a powerful and collectible piece of contemporary art.

“Alan Measles and Claire speed down Silicon Valley in their exotic supercar. They are happy and smiling because they are so rich. They made their money in the caring sharing world of digital technology. Super rich people spend a lot of money on super cars, art and handbags. Alan and Claire describe themselves as philanthropists.” – Grayson Perry
