Quote me on this, Grayson: you're not a true artist at all

Grayson Perry has quoted my dismissal of him as ‘suburban popular culture’ on a new pot of his. But I’m no snob – and this is typical snark from an artist who makes dry jokes instead of feeling anything

It’s always nice to be quoted. In a design for a new pot that he has released to publicise his exhibition at the Serpentine Gallery next year, Grayson Perry quotes me dismissing his work as “suburban popular culture”.

Did I say that? Probably, although he also misspells my name Johnathan. Can I have that corrected on the final ceramic masterpiece, please? And isn’t this quote a bit polite compared with some of the things I have said about his work?
