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), as 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. Afterwards, he also stayed in New York. Heyboer was 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 as part of the Arbeitseinsatz and transferred to a transit camp for foreign forced laborers 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. 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.
