Biography
Biography
Myers studied at the San Francisco Art Institute, from 1958 to 1960; and moved to New York City in 1961. During the early to mid-1960s, he was a founding member of The Park Place Gallery. His large steel Untitled from 1969 to 1970 is included in the outdoor plaza at The Governor Nelson A. Rockefeller Empire State Plaza Art Collection in Albany, New York. Myers has been interviewed by several television outlets. His life and career are the subject of the documentary film The Art and Times of Frosty Myers, which covers the New York art scene of the 1960s and 1970s. With his wife Debra Arch Myers, Frosty divides his time between homes in Damascus, Pennsylvania, where there is a large museum of his work and a sculpture garden, and St. Augustine, Florida.
