Description: "Sixteen Americans, an exhibition of nearly 100 recent paintings and sculptures, will be on view at the Museum of Modern Art, 11 West 53 Street, from December 16 through February l4-. Organized by Dorothy C. Miller, Curator of the Collections, this is one of a series of American group exhibitions which have been presented periodically at the Museum ever since its founding 30 years ago. The work of 140 American artists has been brought before over half a million Museum visitors through these exhibitions, all of which have followed a particular pattern, namely, to include only a small number of artists so that each can be represented by a gallery full of works. This plan provides a series of small one-man shows within the framework of a large exhibition." -- Excerpt from Press Preview Tuesday, December 15, 1959 (see link).
