I personally saw Charles Saatchi examining a poster of my Pegasus sculpture (Olympic poster 1984 Summer Games) at the home of fellow adman Jay Chiat. The Toyota ad had the paint color adjusted to match my sculpture and dozens of people sent me the ad, connecting it in their mind to my 40 yr old, and much published, piece.
