Hayter and Atelier 17 Intaglio Prints [ヘイターとアトリエ17銅版画展]

The Kyōto shinbun billed this as Japan's first Atelier 17 group exhibition, but an earlier show, Hayter and Atelier 17, was held in Tokyo in 1959. Arranged after the Kyoto printmaker Yoshio Furuno (Kyoto Hangaka Shūdan) visited the Paris studio in July 1966, following an art-education congress in Prague. 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).
