When I went to present work, and felt confident to have done a good job, in most cases I would know that the client would recognise that it’s right. I felt much more comfortable working for clients who I liked and were receptive to my work. The more that I did for them the more interesting the work became, because I was less worried what the client would think about it and how much persuasion they would need. I would be able to become bolder.”

“I have very few examples of my artwork. They could be comprised of separate bits of photographs, paper or drawings that came together in print to make the original. The poster for the Commonwealth Arts Festival (1965) was just pieces of cut paper and I only have it because it was rejected. If not, it would have gone in front of the camera and been printed. I doubt whether I would have asked for the artwork back and it would have been lost.

Romek Marber

After leaving the Royal College of Art in 1956 Marber began to work on commissions for a wide variety of clients, many of which were leading firms and heritage companies, including Heal’s, the prestigious printing firm of Balding and Mansell, and Spicers Paper Merchants. Collected here is a selection of some of the printed work and roughs, showing the diversity and range, with as much information as is known. If you can add to the work or provide more details about each item please let us know.
