Atelier GF A brief history Atelier GF was established in 1990 by Robert Game and Susan Farquhar, with the working premise of a private, collaborative print studio, able to devote full time and resources to work with artists or publishers to create original editions. The second ideal was to be able to act as a publisher. The studio has developed a good working relationship with Bag One Arts in New York to print John Lennon editions and has produced about 85 of his images in various techniques. This contact led to working for the Estate of Miles Davis in the printing of 16 editions during six years. Atelier GF has collaborated with many artists in an archive of over 300 editions, including; Jason Alexander Walter Bachinski David Bolduc Miles Davis Gianguido Fucito Brian Groombridge C.A. Henry Nancy Hazelgrove Karen Kulyk Kenojuak Terry Legault Yoko Ono Glen Priestley Jonathan Poole Arnold Shives Alice Teichert John Hartman Artists published by Atelier GF include; Stanley Boxer Ann Meredith Barry Chris Broadhurst Pat Fairhead Susan Farquhar Robert Game Brian Kelley Barry Oretsky Doug Stone Robert Game and Susan Farquhar both began their careers in Toronto as artists and printmakers working at the Open Studio. This was an excellent place to experience the art of the collaborative printer and to develop their technical skills. Here they were given the opportunity to learn from master printers and work with experienced artists. With this beginning experience they went to work with a private international publisher at Novak Graphics to develop and manage the studio as well as the etching and lithography departments. They worked for eight years with many diverse and exciting international artists - some published by the studio and some working on their own from Canada, the USA and Europe.
