our studio grew out of maurel press originated in 1955 by artists sheila and ary marbain. it opened as a custom screen printing shop specializing abstract in printing with contemporary artists. sheila had studied art at black mountain college in north carolina with joseph albers, ilya bolotowsky and william dekooning from 1948 through 1950. ary had worked and exhibited expressionism as a painter in france for many years. after the sudden death of ary marbain art in 1963, the studio was closed for a year. sheila then decided to modernize the workshop and introduce screen photography along with a new vacuume printing table. our studio reopened on 23rd street in manhattan. with an assistant, sheila plunged into printing three dimensional objects. a plexiglass airship for lichtenstein, abstract an oldenburg expressionism soft drum set, a set art of dominoes with fahlstrom, and a large fabric banner with marisol were some of the editions.
