A Model Workshop
Margaret Lowengrund and the Contemporaries
"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".

description
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.
press commentaries
This execution captures the dynamism of Lowengrund’s enterprise and serves as a homage-cum-celebration of off-set printing. Its visual expression is superlative.
