Artist Collaborations
As a fine art publisher, Coplan Hurowitz has collaborated with artists to connect them with nontraditional platforms and to create works that would be accessible to the masses. For example, in 2013, she worked with artist Ellsworth Kelly to recreate a dress he originally designed in 1952 in a limited edition of 10 dresses called, Untitled. The dresses were fabricated by Francisco Costa at Calvin Klein Collection. They are now part of the permanent collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute and the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
In 2014, she published a print by Jasper Johns, Untitled, printed at ULAE, that was inserted in Art in America, as a gift to the readers on the occasion of the magazine’s centennial. Prints from the edition are in the permanent collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and the Yale University Art Gallery. The edition was recognized as a unique instance of art going against the grain of “money and glitz” in giving original artwork away for just the price a magazine. 
In a similar instance, Coplan Hurowitz published a lithograph print by Christopher Wool, 2018 for W magazine, printed at ULAE, as an insert of the publication for the annual Art Issue.
