Anton Heyboer's distinctive work is included in countless museum collections around the world. In 1984, Anton Heyboer broke with Espace and with the entire establishment of museums and the art market in general. He strived to enable the public to experience art as part of daily life. Heyboer has received numerous awards, including international ones.
He has grown into a Dutch legend. However, his eccentric lifestyle as a man with five brides in his commune in Den Ilp certainly did not stand in his way. Due to his unusual way of life, Anton Heyboer was one of the most eccentric Dutch artists of the past few decades. His turbulent lifestyle manifested itself in five marriages. He also described himself as 'the Robin Hood of the art world', referring to his high artistic output.
Heyboer was trained as a mechanical engineer. After the Second World War, he began drawing, albeit still in a traditional style. Between 1954 and 1957, he developed his own philosophical framework upon which his abstract artworks were based. Nevertheless, figurative elements always remain present in his paintings and etchings. Heyboer also clarified the themes of his work through texts, in which human relationships often play a role.
Anton passed away in 2005 at his farm in Den Ilp at the age of 81, surrounded by his five wives. After his death in 2005, his wives kept him alive as a legend through writings, CDs, and films, and through the sale of his work.
