The Atelier 17 printmaking workshop

The Atelier 17 was an influential printmaking workshop founded by artist Stanley William Hayter in 1927, initially in Paris. It became renowned for fostering experimental techniques and innovative approaches to intaglio and other printmaking methods. Artists from around the world collaborated, pushing the boundaries of printmaking as an art form. The workshop emphasized experimentation, technical mastery, and creative collaboration, significantly impacting modern print art. In the 1950s, it moved to New York City, continuing its legacy of artistic innovation until closing in the early 1970s. Today, Atelier 17 is recognized as a pivotal space in the development of contemporary printmaking.
