some interesting little PR phrases in that BBC report.
"could have sold for as much as £40m at auction"
"Sold by the children of the late Lord Ashton of Hyde, the work was at risk of going abroad had ..."
"I know there was a major American museum that asked for first refusal."
Kinda makes it all sound like the sellers , the Lottery folks and the Tate are quite the good guys.
Anyway, nice to see it saved for the nation.I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.
