Lyn 37:
"The Tate Affair also highlights a shift in expectations of art museums and their directors. While in the 1950s criticism focused on acquisitions and prices, today the emphasis is on curating coherent and accessible exhibitions and displays, a quality judged as much by visitor figures as by art world opinion. In recent praise of two national museum directors, Nicholas Penny of The National Gallery and Sandy Nairne of the National Portrait Gallery, on the occasion of their retirements, more attention has been paid to audiences attracted than works acquired. This shift may appear subtle, there is a clear continuing concern for the best use of public funds, but it is perhaps indicative of an art world weary of debates over artistic quality and value, and more concerned with the communicability of art and ideas."<ref> {{en}} [http://www.apollo-magazine.com/tate-affair-now/ ''The Tate Affair: then and now'' deur Rosalind Mckever].

Oor dié episode en die bedrog wat Le Roux gepleeg het terwyl hy in diens van lord Beaverbrook was, rep die twee gesaghebbende [[Suid-Afrika]]anse bronne oor sy lewe, die ''[[Standard Encyclopaedia of Southern Africa]]'' (''Sesa'') en die ''[[Suid-Afrikaanse Biografiese Woordeboek]]'', so te sê geen woord nie. In laasgenoemde skryf F.G.E. Nilant bloot: "Sy dienstermyn by die Tate Gallery is egter van 1952 (af) uiters onaangenaam vanweë sy botsing met sir John Rothenstein, die direkteur van die inrigting, en dit gee aanleiding tot sy bedanking." In die ''[[Standard Encyclopaedia of Southern Africa|Sesa]]'' is H.M. van der Westhuyzen selfs vaer: "Van die begin van 1953 was hy ’n tyd lank adjunkdirekteur van die Nasionale Kunsmuseum, Londen, onder sir John Rothenstein."
