Frames constructed of wood or metal are generally stable; the adhesives, padding, and coverings made of twentieth-century materials may be less permanent. Once some types of synthetic fabrics and fillers have begun their deterioration, there is nothing at this time that will reverse it, but it can be slowed down. For furniture, just as for all other types of art objects, reduce exposure to light, especially ultraviolet radiation, which seriously damages textiles, plastics, and dyes. Handle the furniture from its most stable and widest area. Simple preventative measures such as felt pads and coasters will help avoid scratching plastic and surface finishes, which are difficult and expensive to restore. Commercial cleaners and waxes should not be applied to surfaces because they may contain abrasives and solvents that will harm the finish.

One Thing After Another explores the relationship of printmaking to the proliferation of serial imagery in the contemporary period. Classic serial print projects from Pop art and Minimalism are juxtaposed with works from 1980s and 1990s. Artists included range from Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Ellsworth Kelly, and Brice Marden to Rosemarie Trockel, John Armleder, Yukinori Yanagi, and Anish Kapoor. Pop and After juxtaposes major works of the 1960s by American and European artists, which focus on mass media and the iconography of consumer culture, with works by younger creators of the 1980s and 1990s that extend and twist the stylistic and social concerns of Pop art. Artists included range from Andy Warhol, Claes Oldenburg, and Roy Lichtenstein to Jeff Koons, David Hammons, and Damien Hirst.

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 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 as a painter in France for many years. After the sudden death of Ary Marbain 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, an Oldenburg soft drum set, a set of dominoes with Fahlstrom, and a large fabric banner with Marisol were some of the editions.
