A Model Workshop explores the understudied impact of Margaret Lowengrund (1902-1957) - a visionary leader, organiser and critic within the mid-twentieth century printmaking community - and the vibrant New York print workshop/gallery she founded, "The Contemporaries".
The book expands histories of 1950s printmaking by showing Lowengrund and The Contemporaries to be a vital nexus in the mid-century print field. Bringing together several original texts with archival documents, the book maps the activities, networks and legacies of Lowengrund and The Contemporaries, placing them within a constellation of contexts including organised labour, feminisms and entrepreneurship, international exchange, and making the modern print.
