Reginald Marsh's and John Koch's paintings using Maroger

An excellent way to clear up the never ending controversy over whether the Maroger medium
is durable may be to examine the late paintings of Reginald Marsh and those of John Koch.
Both painters learned to make the Maroger medium under Maroger himself in the 1940s and
subsequently employed it for the rest of their painting careers (which in the case of Marsh was
sadly short). I have not had the opportunately of examining Marsh's late work with Maroger in the
flesh, only in reproductions. I did examine one of Koch's paintings in the flesh and noticed that
it was quite dingy and embrowned; this was apparent especially in the bluish areas. This muddiness
was to some extent obviated by his choice of a white priming which he seems to have worked
on fairly directly i.e. few layers of underpaint. I would like to know if anyone has seen paintings
by these painters who have used Maroger and can report on their condition
