A Model Workshop: Margaret Lowengrund and The Contemporaries explores the generative legacy of Lowengrund (1902–1957), a visionary artist-advocate and entrepreneur. In charting the history of the print workshop-gallery she founded, The Contemporaries and, later, its evolution into Pratt Graphic Art Center, A Model Workshop brings into focus the bustling printmaking scene of 1950s New York and Lowengrund’s impact on postwar printmaking.
Lauren Rosenblum is the Jensen Bryan Curator at The Print Center, Philadelphia and a doctoral candidate in art history at The Graduate Center, City University of New York.
Christina Weyl is an independent scholar and curator. She is the author of The Women of Atelier 17: Modernist Printmaking in Midcentury New York.
