Here’s the link to my midterm project! I explored where most of the artists that contributed to the Tate Art Collection were originally from who were born between 1930 – 1949 (excluding artists from the UK).

I agree the output of your bar chart is hard to read as is, but I also agree it’s one of the best ways, if not the best way, to display the data you chose to work with. I used the same data set for my midterm, and chose to focus solely on Italian artists because I was also interested in where art in this British museum is coming from outside of the UK. As tedious as it was to sift through data and apply filters and make edits to formatting, it was satisfying to reach the end and see what all the words and numbers looked like when projected digitally. It sounds like you had a similar experience which is pretty cool, and I’m thankful someone else chose to focus on the Tate’s international representation.
You mentioned how you didn’t include the UK because Tate is from the UK so it’s reasonable to say that he would have gathered the most art from there. With that said, I’d be interested to see how large of a lead the UK would have in this graph. Also, it may have been useful to remove some regions if they were below a certain value, like if only 2 pieces came from a certain country, exclude it from the bar chart. Other than that, well done!
