In 1957 Frost returned to Cornwall to work full-time in St Ives at 4 Porthmeor Studios. Artists working in St Ives who had broken into the international art scene, such as Barbara Hepworth, Bernard Leach, Patrick Heron and Peter Lanyon, continued to attract visiting Americans, and in 1960, Frost held his first one-man exhibition at the Bertha Schaeffer Gallery in New York (see E. Knowles (ed.), Terry Frost, Aldershot, 1994, p. 84).
