Atelier 17: Myths in Motion, from the collection of Arthur F. Jones

On the occasion of the Loeb’s exhibition Atelier 17: Myths in Motion, we are delighted to welcome Christina Weyl, Executive Director of the nonprofit Atelier 17 Project, who will offer new perspectives on the history of the avant-garde printmaking workshop as its centennial approaches. Founded by Stanley William Hayter in Paris in 1927, the workshop was renowned for its spirit of collaboration and technical innovation. At the onset of the Second World War, Atelier 17 relocated to New York City, where artists such as Jackson Pollock experimented with etching and engraving.

The exhibition is drawn from the collection of local collector and art historian Arthur Jones, who passed away in 2025. We dedicate this exhibition and program to Arthur’s memory and to his passionate advocacy for the arts and the legacy of Atelier 17.

This event is free and open to the public.
