Appendix A: Atelier 17’s Female Members, 1940–1955

Methodology: This list, totaling ninety-seven names, was compiled using a variety of sources. Primary among them was the appendix in Joann Moser’s 1977 exhibition catalogue about Atelier 17 that incorporated the names of fifty-one women artists.1 Joann Moser, Atelier 17: A 50th Anniversary Retrospective Exhibition (Madison: Elvehjem Art Center, University of Wisconsin–Madison, 1977), 83–84. Archival research in exhibition catalogues, newspaper clippings, and letters has identified many more Atelier 17 participants. Museum collections and conversations with artists’ descendants have also shed light on several women who were not listed in the 1977 appendix. Below is a key to understanding these new additions. Any name without a specific notation was included in Moser’s list.

✽ Name listed in Peter Grippe’s student ledger book, Allentown Art Museum, The Grippe Collection

◆ Name appears in the exhibition catalogue for or press coverage about an Atelier 17 group show

✪ Attendance confirmed by New School registrar’s office

❖ Ex-collection of a fellow Atelier 17 member

❑ Archival sources indicate Atelier 17 participation

Name convention and alphabetization: Because many artists were unmarried at the time they worked at Atelier 17 and exhibited prints under their maiden names, this list is generally alphabetized by maiden name. In cases where an artist changed her last name after marriage, I use a compound of maiden and married name to avoid confusion (e.g., Ellen Abbey Countey). Exceptions to this rule occur when an artist was already married by the time of her affiliation with Atelier 17 and used her married name professionally (e.g., Terry Haass).

There, she made her first prints, which served as illustrations for a story she had penned.
