Find me that info, and I'll enter with something. :) I think those photos they show are decent, but not top 60 quality perse. Maybe larger versions would look more impressive.

I think maybe they are confusing by being shown in the National Portrait Gallery, perhaps better suited to Tate Modern where you would more expect to find conceptual artwork.
And every one said, 'If we only live,
We too will go to sea in a Sieve,---
To the hills of the Chankly Bore!'
Far and few, far and few, Are the lands where the Jumblies
live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue, And they went to
sea in a Sieve.
