Printmaking has been a part of the New School for Social Research and the Parsons School of Design community for 60 years. It began under the direction of Stanley William Hayter. Atelier 17, as it was originally called, began in Paris in 1927. By 1930, many of the most prominent artists of the day: Miro, Giacometti, Calder, were making prints in his studio. With the outset of WWII Hayter left occupied France for the U.S. He arrived in NYC in 1940 and met with the Dean of the New School to arrange the reopening of Atelier 17 here at the university. It was an 'instant success and has continued to the present day. It still functions as a place for artists of all disciplines to come together, make prints, exchange ideas, and be a part of a very special ARTIST community.
