The Art of the 70s.... Now

With more than three decades to look back how do artists who began to be shown in the 70s see their work and the work of their peers now? The aesthetics of the 70s was based on experimentation, exploration, re-evaluation and a rejection of paintings and sculpture styles of Abstract Expressionism, Pop Art and Minimalism. Does that hold true today; how does that aesthetic impact the art world today?
