‘Rainbow sickness’ by Grayson Perry RA
Across the country, the homespun image of the painted rainbow has come to symbolise hope as people, communities and major institutions such as the RA face an uncertain future. To capture this time in our lives, Grayson Perry RA has designed a plate that features his characteristic caustic wit and social commentary. It is called Rainbow Sickness.
We will acknowledge the first 500 donations of £1,000 or over with a Rainbow Sickness plate, designed by Grayson Perry exclusively for the RA to say thank you.
If you are able to be more generous, then we would be delighted to acknowledge this with more plates. There are 500 plates, but we will endeavour to offer more plates as the donation increases by each thousand pounds. For example, a donation of £5,000 will enable us to consider allocating five plates to you, as a thank you for exceptional generosity.
The plate is printed by 1882 in Stoke-on-Trent.
The costs of this appeal have been generously supported by the Dorfman Foundation.
