From Simon Ward

I would like to thank all those who have responded to my initial
enquiry, to what extent do you feel we obligated to a dead creator in
a moral sense when displaying their material, ie should we ensure it
is always displayed in such a manner so it is interpreted in the
right context. Also if a particular work of art is below an artists
normal standard should this be pointed out or should the viewer be
left to draw their own conclusions. Looking at these points from a
purely moral stance should it make any difference whether the artist
is alive or dead.
