  • About the artist
    Sir Terry Frost was born in Leamington Spa. He spent four years as a prisoner of war during the Second World War, during which time he met, and was taught by, the artist Adrian Heath. After the war, he studied at Camberwell School of Arts, London and went on to settle in St Ives in 1950, where he worked as assistant to Barbara Hepworth. In 1951, after meeting the artist Roger Hilton, he began to use construction and collage in his work and over the next decade became one of Britain’s leading abstract painters. In 1952 Frost’s first major exhibition in London led to several decades of solo and group exhibitions around the world. In 1960 he visited the USA and met leading Abstract Expressionists Mark Rothko and Barnett Newman, and art critic Clement Greenberg. Knighted in 1998 for his contribution to British art, Frost continued to make paintings and prints as well as designing ceramics and textiles right up to his death in 2003.
