William Fredericksen was born in Norway in 1914 and showed very early talent. He came to America with his designer mother and was accepted into the New Bauhaus School at the Chicago Institute of Design in 1946. He had the privilege of studying under former Bauhaus master László Moholy-Nagy, Alexander Archipenko and other significant Bauhaus instructors.
Upon graduation in 1948, he worked as Designer and Art Director for Women's Wear Daily and L.R. Froelich Pharmaceuticals before becoming a full time artist for the remainder of his life. Fredericksen owned and operated the Chester Gallery in Massachusetts for 30 years, where he continued to create important works. He had gallery showings dating back to 1947 at significant national and regional galleries, including The Art Institute of Chicago, and the Andre Emmerich gallery in New York.
