[pdb-discuss] Draft funding proposal

[Tim Cowlishaw]

Koons and Warhol were also involved in litigation over their work, which
strengthens them as examples somewhat. Peter Saville would be another good
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
