The Atelier 17 Project
Artists of Atelier 17

Studio roles

Throughout Atelier 17’s history, a succession of artists assisted with the studio’s operations. The workshop could not operate without those who volunteered or exchanged labor for free or reduced studio dues. There were members who helped Stanley William Hayter with the development of the studio’s signature techniques and others who supported the studio’s upkeep as studio monitors (in New York) and massiers (in Paris). As Hayter aged, several artists—among them, Krishna Reddy, Hector Saunier, and Juan Valladares Falen—took on the larger roles of associate directors or co-directors.
