I removed the table from the article but I hope we can add it back someday. The historical accounting of national representation is in a grievous state. I've contacted several scholars of contemporary Egyptian art and there isn't a single reliable source to use for the names of each year's national participants, nevertheless the names of their shows, works exhibited, etc. Heroic measures would be to go back to each individual Biennale's catalog and use the primary source (in Italian, mind you) to fill out what we can. I think that's outside our scope. I'll try making a similar table for the American pavilion, but I imagine that will only go back so far too. czar 22:36, 10 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
