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 way. 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. After that 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 Arbeitseinsatz and transferred to a transit camp for foreign forced labor in Prenzlauer Berg (Berlin). He managed to escape and fled traumatized to the Netherlands, where he hid in Vinkeveen and performed agricultural labor.
Viewing is of course possible. In addition we have our own in-house framers, celebrating their 85th anniversary year. Furthermore we use restorers from the professional association: 'Restauratoren Nederland'. If you would like to make use of this, of course we would be happy to hear from you.
