He was co-founder of Stichting Kunst Werkt Schiedam in 1991. Even then he had a considerable track record and could therefore be a source of information for up-and-coming talent. Well-known works of art by him are 'The Lamb' in the Grote Kerk, unveiled in 2010 by Queen Beatrix, and the Resistance Monument that was placed in the Juliana Park in 2020. It was characteristic of Sjef Henderickx that he was modestly happy with the appreciation for his good friend Joost Kalkhoven, who had made the V-monument technically possible. “An artist can come up with something, but it must also be possible to implement it,” Sjef said complimentarily. His works found their way to museums and collectors at home and abroad. There are also well-known works of art in his home in Kethel-Oost.
