Fredric Karoly (1898 - 1987) was active/lived in New York / Hungary.  Fredric Karoly is known for Abstract imagery, sculpture, fashion and fabric design.

Fredric Karoly was born in Budapest in 1893. According to Karoly's own vitae, his exhibition history began in New York in 1947, when at the age of 54 he took part in a four-person group show at Hugo Gallery. His involvement with visual art however was apparently life long. In a brief introduction to his solo show at Galerie Mai in Paris in June of 1949, Jen Luc de Rudder, reports that Karoly began painting at the age of 12 in Budapest.
