About the exhibiting artists
Kolos-Vari is listed in the catalogue as "Sandor Kolos-Vari" in error; the exhibitor was Sigismond Kolos-Vari. Sandor (Alexandre) Kolozsváry was Sigismond's elder brother, also a printmaker, but he did not work at Atelier 17 (confirmed by Julia Cserba, October 2026). "Werner" is listed without a first name; linked here to Werner von Alvensleben.

About the exhibiting artists
There is no checklist for the exhibition, but press clippings illustrate work by Kenneth Killstrom (Los Angeles Times, July 10, 1949), Leo Katz, and Gabor Peterdi (Los Angeles Daily News, July 9, 1949).
Sources
California Institute of the Arts Library has a scrapbook for Chouinard containing two pages of press clippings about this exhibition:
Arthur Millier, "Artists from Hayter Group Display Prints," Los Angeles Times, July 10, 1949; "Atelier 17 Exhibit is Vital Art," Los Angeles Daily News, July 9, 1949; Kay English, "Atelier 17," Los Angeles Examiner, July 17, 1949.The exhibition traveled from Chouinard to the Art Institute of Chicago, according to two Los Angeles newspapers: Los Angeles Daily News, July 9, 1949; Los Angeles Examiner, July 17, 1949.

Art Gallery of the Atlanta Division, University of Georgia, Atlanta, Georgia · October 1 to October 15, 1949
Traveled to
- Lila Lewis Gallery, Atlanta, Georgia · October 16 (circa) to October 24, 1949
Notes and sources
Gwyn Ferris, member of Atelier 17 and Atlanta native, selected 60 prints for this exhibition. The Lila Lewis Gallery additionally facilitated its display at the Art Gallery at the University of Georgia. Newspaper clippings indicate a two-week display at the Art Gallery, after which the selection was on view at the Lila Lewis Gallery.
A type-set exhibition pamphlet in Stanley William Hayter's papers at Tate Archive matches many details provided in the press coverage. The pamphlet does not have a year and lists inclusive dates "October 1 to 24," which perhaps includes both venues in Atlanta.
About the exhibiting artists
The write-up in the Atlanta Constitution (September 30, 1949) mentions a checklist of 60 prints with many details matching the 60-object checklist in Tate Archive. This clipping, however, does mention Pierre Courtin and André Masson among exhibiting artists, and these two artists are not on the Tate Archive checklist.
The Atlanta Journal review notes 57 works on exhibit.
