[pdb-discuss] Draft funding proposal

Tue Apr 24 11:36:46 UTC 2007

Koons and Warhol were also involved in litigation over their work, which

one to mention, but depending on your definition, he may or may not really
be an 'Artist' as such (he's a graphic designer / commercial illustrator)

Cheers,

Tim
