Bronze figurine made by John Bier, 39 cm high. John Bier (1936) Sculptor, draftsman
John BIER (Santpoort 1936) is a Dutch sculptor and draftsman. From 1954 to 1958, Bier was a student at the Institute for Applied Arts Education in Amsterdam. He moved with his parents to Alkmaar when he was three years old, where he still lives and works.
The human figure plays an important role in Bier's work. One of his better-known sculptures is that of beachcomber Simon Gutker (1897-1988), which was placed at the end of the Hondsbossche Sea Wall near Camperduin.
