Gallery 8 Invitation
Letterpress and tipped-on offset
lithograph, 6.25 x 4.75"
1963, Toledo OH
"Gallery 8" in the Toledo Museum of Art was often used for exhibitions of work by local or area artists, including this one which I shared with sculptor David Hysell, a sculptor on the teaching staff at the museum.
For this invitation, I "cannibalized" extra copies of several of the offset-lithograph landscapes I had produced during the two previous years. David Hysell, who was admirably easy-going, did not seem to mind that the invitation featured my work and ignored his.
(Ed. Note - while David's invite "ignores" Hysell's work, a story in the February 5, 1963 edition of the Toledo Blade mentions Hysell at some length, albeit after noting David May's inclusion in the 20th American Drawings Annual.)
