“The artist could not be 'undiscovered' if his work was collected by 'Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, as well as The British Museum, The Victoria & Albert Museum, The Laing Art Gallery (Newcastle-upon-Tyne), The City of Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery, The Ashmolean Museum (Oxford) and The National Gallery of Victoria (Melbourne, Noel Coward, The Marchioness of Dufferin and Alva, and the Rt Hon Sir Alexander Cadogan.'
'acquiring his complete works' how can this be because of the above or have all the above sold their paintings to the 'man from Lincolnshire'.
Sloppy journalism.”
