...public image of Margaret Thatcher and the Conservative Party. The art world was diligently sown with rumors that his paintings were selling for $30,000, $50,000 or $75,000, though no one was on record as actually paying such sums for the work of the new stupor mundi, and the press showed its usual gullibility about the steep differences between publicity price, asking price and real discounted price.
