Galerie Pierre, Paris, France · until May 25, 1935
Notes and sources
Hayter's preface for this exhibition, signed "H.," was located in Swedish translation in the journal Konstrevy (1935) by James Chadwick. It names 22 exhibiting artists and describes the plaster-relief method alongside paper prints.
About the exhibiting artists
The preface, signed "H." (Hayter), lists 22 exhibitors and was published in Swedish in Konstrevy (1935). A review in L'Intransigeant (May 26, 1935) singles out Brignoni, Vieillard, Vulliamy and Catherine Yarrow and names Dalí and Ernst as the group's two influences. Konstrevy gives Buckland Wright's first name as "Frank"; linked here to John Buckland-Wright.

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.

American Contemporary Gallery, Los Angeles, California · [ca. February 10] to March 5, 1946
Notes and sources
The American Contemporary Gallery, opened in 1943 by Barbara Byrnes and Clara Grossman, was a small exhibition venue located on Hollywood Boulevard that mostly showed art and experimental films by European avant-gardes. For more, see Rani Singh, Pacific Standard Time: Los Angeles Art, 1945-1980, ed. Rebecca Peabody, et al. (Los Angeles: Getty Research Institute and the J. Paul Getty Museum, 2011), 7.
About the exhibiting artists
According to Arthur Millier's summary in the Los Angeles Times (February 10, 1946), this exhibition featured work by 13 studio members. No checklist exists but Arthur Millier's full review (February 17, 1946) mentions Stanley William Hayter and Louis Schanker. Millier also praises an unattributed print titled "Water Veiled." Ian Hugo is linked on that basis, since a print of that title is listed under his name in the 1946 Latin American checklist for MoMA's "Hayter and Studio 17" (1946-47).

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.

Works were selected from a group show held earlier in New York. The gallery was directed by Yukihiko Tajima. First of three Atelier 17 shows at the Azuma Gallery (1966, 1968, 1969).
