Well, actually, it's mostly the Silvermans and Jon Hendricks who
hold to the Maciunas-only
line, and they have a good reason to do so. And this is an
interesting situation. Could you imagine
Dada or minimalism being hijacked reroactively by a big
collector/curator? The ability the Silvermans have
had to enforce their version of history is grounded on the scale of
their collection and the inability
of the artists whose careers they were hurting to fight back. I
gather that in europe the artists just kept
on going and didn't bother with what they understood as an American
mistake. Is that the case, or
is it just what i gather?
