Born in 1929 in Toronto, Canada, to a Jewish family of Polish origin<\/b>, the young Frank Owen Goldberg<\/b>, as he was formerly known, spent a lot of time in his grandfather’s hardware store, where he handled and experimented with all kinds of materials. After moving to California, the budding artist studied architecture at the University of Southern California, before attending the Harvard Graduate School of Design.
