"Usable sculpture is an oxymoron, few artists have been successful at this.... For my furniture to be successful, I must first experience it as a sculpture and then discover it can be used as a piece of furniture."
-Forrest Myers
Career
Forrest "Frosty" Myers was born in 1941 in Long Beach California. He 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. He currently lives and works in Brooklyn, New York and Damascus, Pennsylvania, where there is a large museum of his work.
The Art and Times of Frosty Myers, a feature length movie documenting his extraordinary life, is also a unique and fascinating window into the New York art scene of the 60s and 70s.
