His large steel Untitled from 1969-1970 is included in the outdoor plaza at The Governor Nelson A. Rockefeller Empire State Plaza Art Collection in Albany, New York.[1]

Myers life and career has been interviewed by national and international television personalities.[2] 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.

With his wife Debra Arch Myers, Frosty divides his time between homes in Damascus, Pennsylvania, where there is a large museum of his work, and St. Augustine, Florida.[3]
