I've been away for the past several days and am just now starting to catch up. So two quick notes:
First, this is exactly correct, and it's not just in the galleries. Reading the late Kirk Varnedoe's Pictures of Nothing: Abstract Art since Pollock, I was struck by how much that subtitle was meant not to function temporally, indicating the path of abstraction since 1950 give or take, but as a sign of lineage. Without getting the book out I can't completely confirm this, but my recollection is that Varnedoe tied virtually every major figure discussed in his lectures back to Pollock, examining the later artists' work as a direct response to or evolution out of his breakthroughs. Not always indefensibly so, of course, but it indicates the same dominant narrative that one finds at MoMA.
On a more mundane technical note, though one of interest to me, I'd gradually become aware that the books displayed in the sidebar at right courtesy of LibraryThing's widget seemed to draw only from a limited, and repetitive, subgroup of those I've cataloged. So I looked into it, and it seems I hadn't configured the widget as I intended. I've tweaked it, and it now seems to be drawing on a fuller group, though I'm not sure it's getting everything. I've extended the number of books displayed, because looking at those little covers warms my heart. I also tried the search feature for the first time, and pronounce it awesome. Now only if I had more books . . .
