The son of Inda Levin and Abe Pekarsky, who owned a haberdashery, he attended public school in Gary, Indiana.〔Who's Who in America〕 While in high school, he studied weekends at the Saturday School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where he began his undergraduate studies in 1951, transferring the following year to Northwestern University, where he received his B.A. in Studio Art in 1955. He completed his M.A. in Art History there in 1956, writing his thesis on ''The Drawings of Jean-Francois Millet'',〔http://www.sinc.stonybrook.edu/Faculty/mpekarsky/#bbq1=bio/index.html See entry in Google Books〕 while teaching studio art at Northwestern's Chicago campus. Pekarsky moved to New York City in 1956, joining the staff of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, then under the directorship of James Johnson Sweeney. He also began PhD studies at New York University's Institute of Fine Arts in the fall of 1956, but was soon called up to military service, serving in the US Army Combat Engineers. During this period he spent time training in Texas mesa country, his "first face-to-face meeting with the southwest desert."〔http://www.sinc.stonybrook.edu/Faculty/mpekarsky/#bbq1=bio/index.html〕
