The exhibit highlights the innovative techniques developed at Atelier 17, an experimental printmaking studio that operated in New York City from 1940 to 1955. Nearly 200 artists made prints there, almost half of them women.
Organized by guest curator Christina Weyl, co-founder and co-president of the Association of Print Scholars, the exhibition focuses on a core group — Louise Bourgeois, Minna Citron, Worden Day, Dorothy Dehner, Sue Fuller, Alice Trumbull Mason, Louise Nevelson and Anne Ryan — who bent traditional printmaking rules and explored uncharted aesthetic terrain in various intaglio and relief printing techniques.
In addition to prints, the exhibition includes examples of works in other media for which the artists are better known: sculpture, paintings, collage and a string composition.
