Michael Craig-Martin started his career by presenting "An Oak Tree", a sculpture of an oak tree that looked exactly like a glass of water on a shelf.

Grayson Perry has been in the news this year, presenting on TV and delivering the BBC Reith lectures, contoversially in a chatty style rather than in academic pomp. As well as his pottery, he likes to play with preconceptions about his appearance. His family also join in on his Christmas cards!
