His work has been collected and shown by prominent museums, including: the Art Institute of Chicago, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, the Museum of Modern Art, New York.

Metzker studies at the Institute of Design in Chicago. Major American museums began showing his work in the 1960’s and the Museum of Modern Art gave him his first one-man show in 1967.
