About the Item
Frank Olt was a artist in residence at P.S1, the legendary Long Island City studio/gallery complex during the late 70s. Olt regards himself largely as a self taught painter, identifying his influences as Pollock, Johns, Twonbly, Kelly, Rothko, and Johnson who he met and befriended in the late 70s. Olt never studied painting formally, his educational background emphasized ceramics and sculpture. He studied clay techniques at the Crafts Students League in NYC, and it introduced him to compositional forms, color and the artistic process. He studied as a student at C.W. Post college, where he gained knowledge of the Bauhaus experience from his ceramics teacher Rose Krebs, who came to America directly from the Bauhaus Pottery. She conveyed abstract concepts that were rooted in grouding color theory and formal structure. She established an influential pattern for Olt, and as she was a traditionalist she was open to new interpretations and experimental art. Olt began teaching at Friends Academy and then on the college level at LIU in 1984. He was a professor and head of the ceramics department. In 1992, Olt was awarded a comission by the N.Y.C. Art in Transit Program to create an installation for the Subway Station at 23rd St and Ely avenue in Long Island City.
Olt has shown in Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Long Island Korea and Japan. His work is highly regarded as a hybrid of both a modern ceramicist, though you will not find a kiln in his studio, and an abstract painter, though you will find no brushes in his studio either.
