David Novros was born on August 8, 1941, in Los Angeles, California, to parents Esther (née Susswein) and Lester Novros.[4][5] His mother was from Poland.[6] While he was a teenager he took classes at Chouinard Art Institute.[6] He studied film at the University of Southern California (USC) and graduated in 1963. While attending USC, sculptor Mel Edwards was two years below him in the same department.[7][8]

After moving he became active within the Park Place Gallery.[5][9] In 1969, Novros along with five other artists including Andy Warhol, Robert Rauschenberg, Claes Oldenburg, John Chamberlain, and Forrest Myers, participated in the creation of the project called the Moon Museum (or Museum of the Moon) to send the first artwork to the moon.[10]
