I believe that it is true, however I would look at it from a different standpoint from Canaday and as a matter of
fact that had been noted, the observation that 10th Street lacked a vitality had been noted several years before, you know, by a great
number of people, including Clem Greenberg, I think in print he even coined the term Tenth Street Painting as a deneogatory term which would be that it was kind of old hat, because Clem Greenberg's stand of course is that
abstract expressionism really lost it's pertinence after the early fifties.
