eighteen/18
[edit]"... numbers greater than nine are commonly rendered in numerals, or may be rendered in words if they are expressed in one or two words (16 or sixteen, 84 or eighty-four, 200 or two hundred, but 3.75, 544, 21 million)"
-en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:MOSNUM#Numbers
"Render numbers greater than nine as figures or, with consistency within each article, render numbers over nine that take two words or fewer to say as words (about five million people; 16 or sixteen; 84 or eighty-four; 200 or two hundred; but 3.75, 544, 21 million).""

i hate to resurrect this, but i thought "eighteen" read better than "18", in the two sentence passage. The passage contains two different numbers--18, and 352. The two instances of 18 denote a quantity of something (paintings), whereas the solitary 352 is a reference to a particular painting. I thought the word/figure choice re-inforced this distinction without being heavy-handed. If all these numbers just show as figures, it reads to me a little ungentle. As for the point about "consistency within each article", i would--to cut a long story short--refer the reader tho the wisdom of this page.
