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
The catalogue lists Marcel Duchamp's Les deux Frères (no. 20) in the Paris 1927–1939 section, but there is as yet no evidence that Duchamp participated in Atelier 17 during the prewar period.
