The Atelier 17 Project, Inc. is a non-profit organization that encourages new research about the history of Atelier 17 on the occasion of this avant-garde printmaking workshop's centennial in 2027.https://a17project.org/https://a17project.org/blog/artists-of-atelier-17-database/https://a17project.org/blog/artists-of-atelier-17-database/A free, searchable database of the 2,082 artists known to have worked at Atelier 17 between 1927 and 1988, with a chronology of the workshop's group exhibitions.Tue, 10 Nov 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://a17project.org/blog/a-new-written-interview-hiroyuki-suzuki-on-atelier-17/https://a17project.org/blog/a-new-written-interview-hiroyuki-suzuki-on-atelier-17/In July, Arnaud Quentin of Art San Gallery in Gujo Hachiman, Japan, wrote to the Atelier 17 Project. He was preparing an exhibition devoted to the printmaker Hiroyuki Suzuki (b. 1950), who had worked at Atelier 17 in Paris from 1973 to 1977, and he proposed conducting a written interview with the artist about those years. The interview was conducted…Wed, 19 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://a17project.org/blog/1986-roster-puzzles/https://a17project.org/blog/1986-roster-puzzles/Our next year of “puzzles” comes from 1986. The last four years of the Atelier 17 roster book (1985-1988) are different than earlier ones. Handwritten by someone other than Stanley William Hayter, they generally contain FIRST and LAST names. Even with the internet, we still cannot identify some of these artist-members. Please reach out if you recognize a name here…Tue, 03 Mar 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://a17project.org/blog/1984-roster-puzzles/https://a17project.org/blog/1984-roster-puzzles/Our next year of “puzzles” comes from 1984. As previously mentioned, the only published roster of Atelier 17’s members came out in 1977, so all names here are “new” to our understanding of the workshop. We continue to be very grateful to all who have contributed to solving these puzzles. Some former members of the workshop have reached out with…Thu, 19 Feb 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://a17project.org/blog/1980-roster-book-puzzles/https://a17project.org/blog/1980-roster-book-puzzles/Our next roster puzzle is from 1980. Because the only “official” list of Atelier 17’s members was published in 1977, the roster pages between 1977 to 1986 capture the names of many artists not previously “officially” recorded as members of the workshop. Thank you to everyone who has written in with suggestions or leads.

Many of the names on these pages are already known. But many names are completely unknown. Often, all we have is a last name and, if we’re lucky, a first initial.…Sat, 10 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://a17project.org/blog/roster-moved-to-airtable/https://a17project.org/blog/roster-moved-to-airtable/We are very happy to share that roster of artists affiliated with Atelier 17 has finally migrated to Airtable. The move from Google Sheets to Airtable allows us to create a more robust, relational database. Eventually, the artist database will cross-reference Atelier 17’s group shows and allow researchers to search by the year(s) or decades an artist was present at…Fri, 05 Sep 2025 00:00:00 GMThttps://a17project.org/blog/oral-history-project/https://a17project.org/blog/oral-history-project/Since April, we have been working to interview former members of Atelier 17 for an Oral History Project funded with a grant from the IFPDA Foundation.
