Our Founders

Marvin Rosenbaum

Marvin Rosenbaum, a co-founder of RFA Decor, has served as Chairman of the Board for the company since 1979. He holds a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from Bernard M. Baruch School of Business at City College of New York. He worked for 10 years at Olivetti, a multinational manufacturing company, working his way up from territory sales representative to manager in the New York region. While working for Olivetti, he spent a lot of time in Italy, where he bought art for himself. Friends and neighbors who saw the works in his home began asking him to buy art for them as well. He eventually left Olivetti to enter the wholesale art business and founded Emrose Art Corporation, an import company that purchased original works of art from the Far East for distribution throughout the United States.

An internationally recognized expert in the art world, specializing in Picasso ceramics, Marvin has served as a member of the Board of Directors of the Professional Picture Framers Association (PPFA), chairman of the Art Committee, and board member of its Trade Show Committee. He was also a contributing editor to the internationally distributed art and framing trade publication, “Art Expressions Magazine.” In 2007, he received a Lifetime Achievement Award from Art Expo and was inducted into the Art Expo Hall of Fame.  

Howard Rosenbaum

Howard Rosenbaum, a co-founder of RFA Decor, received his business education at the University of Miami. He has served as Chief Executive Officer, President, and Director of the company since 1979. Howard’s primary responsibility and special interest has been creative product development. He is responsible for selecting most of the company’s artists and artwork, working closely with the artists to ensure the commercial viability of their work.

Prior to founding the company, Howard traveled extensively throughout Europe, acquiring fine art from the world’s greatest artists and their representatives. He has purchased works of art for distribution throughout the United States from master artists including Miro, Vasarely, Chagall, and Picasso.

Howard also developed relationships with European publishers that produce fine art serigraphs, lithographs, and limited editions for many internationally renowned artists, contributing to the success of the Rosenbaum Art Companies.
