Please forgive my vague moment. It was Francis Bacon I was referring to. I have just done a quick search on him and have decided now I am not cleaning my studio ever again. All my detritis could be worth a fortune to my estate. I've had it wrong all this time. I have tried to preserve the integrity of my house for future sale value.
It seems there have been many people who have profited from Bacon's rubbish, from the photographer who recorded the studio and then published a book, to those who collected his rejected canvases, mostly with the offending areas cut out of them, to those who recorded the various documentaries. It seems that anything he once touched is collectable.
