Anton Heyboer, De oerkip, mixed media on hand-made paper, original, 1990–2000, hand-signed by the artist, 43 × 33 cm including frame, from the Netherlands, sold by Galerie, in good condition.
Description from the seller
The Oerkip is an expressive work by Anton Heyboer, executed with wax crayon on handmade paper. It shows a simple chicken motif in bold, direct lines and is hand-signed by the artist, which makes it a personal and spontaneous work.
Anton Heyboer (1924–2005)
Because of his unconventional lifestyle, Anton Heyboer belonged to the most eccentric Dutch artists of the past decades. His turbulent lifestyle manifested itself in five marriages. He also described himself as 'the Robin Hood of the art world,' referring to his prolific output. Heyboer was trained as a mechanical engineer. After World War II he began drawing, albeit still in a traditional style. Between 1954 and 1957 he developed his own philosophical framework on which his abstract artworks were based. Yet there are always figurative elements present in his paintings and etchings. Additionally, Heyboer clarified the themes of his work with texts, in which human relationships often play a role.
Dimensions of the artwork with frame: 43 x 33 cm
Dimensions of the work without a frame: 28 x 20 cm
Framed artwork.
Viewing is, of course, possible. Additionally, we have our own in-house framing workshop, which is celebrating its 85th anniversary. Furthermore, we collaborate with restorers from the professional organization: 'Restauratoren Nederland'. If you wish to make use of this service, we would of course be happy to hear from you.
