1971-1979

Operated by artist and writer Barbara Caruso who was married to poet, bookseller, and publisher, Nelson Ball. And it was a great marriage indeed: talent and vision made the scene. Unfortunately, Caruso was forced to stop silk screening as some of the agents used turned out to be very hazardous to one's health. Due to this she decided to cease publication.
