Osborn/Woods Poster Show
GRAVEL & GOLD is delighted to present a collection of original OSBORN/WOODS prints from the 1960s.
Please join us for an opening reception with Charles Woods on Friday, February 19th from 6 to 9pm.
For over fifty years, David Osborn and Charles Woods have been an artistic force in Nevada City, CA. They landed in the old mining town in 1957 after meeting as graduate students at UC Berkeley and went on to run a design and print shop, found the American Victorian Museum, and begin broadcasting the community radio station KVMR. Their bright, enthusiastic lithographs are reminiscent of Sister Corita Kent and the best of 1960s design. Gravel & Gold has assembled 19 original prints from the Seasonal, Ocean, Natural Guide, Travel, and Apocalypse series. They have been framed by Oakland musician Elias Reitz of Gojogo.
This is a very special show for us. It’s been a dream of ours to present such a collection since we first got started with the shop. And a special show takes special thanks. Praise be to Joe Meade for turning us on to Osborn/Woods and for being such a tremendous support to us and the shop.

Hi there, I’m David and Charles’ niece (David was my mother’s brother) from California (currently living in the UK). I am so pleased to see their work on display! I’ve grown up with their posters all my life, and the current somewhat battered one above is one my youngest son’s bedroom wall.
They also did a number of landscape prints of SF bay area and other places, which I’ve always adored, I don’t know if those are in general circulation?
