Will Robert Crumb's return to America (beginning in October), spark a revived interest in his art?

It is purely a speculative personal opinion, but it seems that this eminent artist’s return to the U.S. would arouse interest in his work here. Back “home,” Robert Crumb would be more accessible and so would his work.
