Akron Exhibition Poster
Silk screen, 9.75 x 15"
1964, Edinburgh
While I was studying at the Edinburgh College of Art, I met their requirement to produce at least one silk-screen piece by doing this poster and invitation (below) for a joint exhibition with Norman Schulman (the ceramics instructor at the Toledo Museum) at the Akron Art Institute, which I had arranged before I left Toledo.
The poster is silk-screened on black paper in four colors (red, pink, green, and white). The invitation, on gray paper, is silk-screened in two colors and the text imprinted by letterpress.
I finished the project in January and sent the copies by surface mail to Norm for mailing and distribution. It was my first silk-screen piece, and far as I can recall, I never did another.
Letterpress and silk screen, 8 x 4"
1964, Edinburgh (2 copies)
(Ed. Note - This show got a small mention - see below - in the March 17th, 1964 edition of the Toledo Blade. Elsewhere in the same article, one of David's previous co-exhibitors - sculptor David Hysell - gets a mention as well. The paper announces that Hysell has an upcoming solo sculpture show at a gallery in Omaha, NB, and that he has moved on from Toledo to take a teaching position at Drake University in Des Moines, IA)
