Collection of 26 Original Etchings by Woody Crumbo - C3806
In the late 1970s, Woodrow Wilson Crumbo (1912-1989) Woody Crumbo would pack up his silkscreen prints and etchings and sell them from the back of his van. He was very friendly and would chat with anyone who stopped by his van. That visitor inevitably left the conversation with one or more prints in his hand.
Crumbo made wooden boxes to hold collections of prints and would sell from those boxes. He would label each box with a notation of the contents. This box is labeled "30 original etchings by Woody Crumbo." In this box were 30 individual etchings, each one numbered 137/200. It is quite likely that an individual purchased the entire collection of etchings and the box. Now there are 4 etchings missing from the box, however, the remaining 26 are available.
