(Artwork Category description)
Atelier 17 was founded in 1927 by Stanley William Hayter. Originally located in rue Moulin Vert, the atelier's name was derived from its later location at 17 rue Campagne Premiere, Paris, where Hayter settled in the beginning of the 1930's. The atelier is best known for the many celebrated artists who worked there and were encouraged by Hayter's insistence that printmaking need not be simply a method of reproduction but rather was a form of artistic creation. The artists of the atelier often worked directly on the plate and were constantly seeking new experiences and techniques. (http://www.ateliercontrepoint.com)
