Born in Vienna and raised in Burgenland, Franz Beer studied at the State School of Applied Arts in Vienna from 1944. In 1947 he moved to the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts before continuing his studies at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna from 1958 to 1960. His teachers were a.o. Paul Kirnig, Albert Paris Gutersloh and Herbert Boeckl. Beer's student days were characterized by close contact with the family of the behavioral researcher Konrad Lorenz and his circle of friends. After graduating in 1950, he worked in France, Germany, Switzerland and Italy. From 1959 to 1965 he was under the exclusive contract of the Bing Gallery in Paris. In the mid-1960s, Beer went to the United States. From 1966, he was a guest lecturer at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design in Boston, then from 1967 at Brown University and from 1967 to 1968 at Harvard University. From 1968 to 1970, Beer worked and lived in Hamburg. In 1970, Beer accepted a professorship at the University of Applied Sciences for Design in Schwäbisch Gmünd. He worked there until his retirement in 1991. In Schwäbisch Gmünd, Beer made a significant contribution to the programmatic development of the basic teaching. In 1992, Beer moved to Venice, in 2000 that move became complete and official.
