Susie Silbert: The other thing that’s interesting about these exhibitions, ‘59, ‘79, and 2019, is the way that they document the growth of the field, the geographic kind of growth and demographic growth of the field, so I don’t have the exact numbers in front of me but the ‘59 show maybe had worked from just 21 countries, the ‘79 show from much more, today the 2019 show had worked from 26 countries, 32 nationalities. And I think shows the range of places and people that are using the material today, so I was really kind of heartened to see that it included—2019 show included works from artists between the ages of 23 and 85, which you just couldn’t have seen in any of these earlier periods.
