MartinFrank was born in Chicago, Illinois on October 22, 1947.
Martin was the recipient of a scholarship from the Evans Scholars Foundation, Western Golf Association, which provided full tuition and housing for his undergraduate education at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign.
Martin decided to continue his studies at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign and was awarded a PhD degree in physiology in 1973.
As soon as Frank saw some life drawings in my folder, he told me that absolutely no life drawing took place in the sculpture department, and that there were many other sources of inspiration apart from the naked figure, such as railway signal boxes, junctions and sidings.
FrankMartin was undoubtedly the greatest impresario of sculpture education this country has known.
Frank went to St Martin's in the early 1950s to take over what was then a small adjunct to the painting department, and his first major political act was to establish it as a fully independent subject department in its own right.
