Weyl focuses on eight artists - Louise Bourgeois, Minna Citron, Worden Day, Dorothy Dehner, Sue Fuller, Alice Trumbull Mason, Louise Nevelson, and Anne Ryan - who bent the technical rules of printmaking and blazed new aesthetic terrain with their etchings, engravings, and woodcuts. She reveals how Atelier 17 operated as an uncommonly egalitarian laboratory for revolutionizing print technique, style, and scale. It facilitated women artists' engagement with modernist styles, providing a forum for extraordinary achievements that shaped postwar sculpture, fiber art, neo-Dadaism, and the Pattern and Decoration movement. Atelier 17 fostered solidarity among women pursuing modernist forms of expression, providing inspiration for feminist collective action in the 1960s and 1970s. The Women of Atelier 17 also identifies for the first time nearly 100 women, many previously unknown, who worked at the studio, and provides incisive illustrated biographies of selected artists. 610 20 $a Atelier 17 $x History. 650 0 $a Prints, American $z New York $z New York $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Women printmakers $z New York $z New York $y 20th century. 710 2 $a Jane Voorhees Zimmerli Art Museum, $e host institution. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n83057181 710 2 $a Pollock-Krasner House and Study Center, $e host institution. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n98010654 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191210014549.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F9CB36FC0CF511EA99B9112E97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
