Description from the seller
Anton Heyboer (1924–2005) was a Dutch painter and etcher. He lived with four women in a commune in Den Ilp (Landsmeer). The 'fifth' woman was his art dealer across the street. Heyboer was born in Sabang, on the Indonesian island of Pulau Weh (north of Sumatra), the son of a mechanical engineer. Five months after his birth the family moved to Haarlem, in 1925 to Delft, in 1929 to Voorburg, and from 1933 to 1938 the family lived in Curaçao. Thereafter there was another stay in New York. Heyboer trained as a mechanical engineer. Even before the outbreak of World War II, the family returned to Haarlem. In 1943, Heyboer was arrested by the Germans in the context of the Arbeitsdienst (Arbeitseinsatz) and taken to a transit camp for foreign forced labor in Prenzlauer Berg (Berlin). He managed to escape and fled traumatized to the Netherlands, where he went into hiding in Vinkeveen and performed agricultural labor.
Viewings are, of course, welcome. In addition, we have our own in-house framing workshop, which is celebrating its 85th anniversary. Furthermore, we make use of restorers from the professional association: 'Restauratoren Nederland'. If you would like to make use of this, we would of course be happy to hear from you.
