'60 Years Of The Grateful Dead' Unveils Band’s Most Comprehensive Art Exhibition Yet [Photos]
The Chambers Project Gallery in Grass Valley, CA, has opened '60 Years of the Grateful Dead,' billed as the most comprehensive exhibition of original Grateful Dead artwork ever assembled. Curated by Brian Chambers, the show features historic posters, album covers, sketches, and rare artifacts from key artists like Rick Griffin, Stanley Mouse, Alton Kelley, Victor Moscoso, and Wes Wilson, alongside collaborators such as Bill Walker and Owsley 'Bear' Stanley. Highlights include Bill Walker's original Anthem of the Sun mandala, stored for years in his sister's garage, and Edmund J. Sullivan's 1900 'Skeleton Amid Roses' illustration, reinterpreted for the band's iconic 1971 album cover. The opening weekend also featured a concert by the supergroup White Lightning at the Bodhi-Hive.
