- Anton Heijboer (1924-2005) 'Call me the Robin Hood of art' was born in 1924 in Sabang in the former Dutch East Indies, the son of a mechanical engineer. The family quickly moves to Haarlem. They lived there until 1925. The Heijboer family then seemed to embark on a moving marathon, visiting cities in the Netherlands and in between to New York and Curacao. Son Anton receives technical training as a mechanical engineer. He also learns welding and bench work. He becomes a drill master. In 1942, the Heijboers settled in Haarlem, where Anton was arrested a year later by the Germans and put to work in Berlin. After seven months he returns critically ill. His experiences in the labor camp were of great significance for the development of his artistry. He wrote about it himself: 'The concentration camp was no worse than the parental home and for me society is no worse than both, too uncreative.' He teaches himself to etch and shamelessly makes kitsch to earn his daily bread. After the war he left his parental home and moved to Drenthe, lived in the south of France for a few months and in 1951 was locked up in the psychiatric hospital in Santpoort. He stays there for a few months. His turbulent lifestyle manifested itself in a number of marriages. In 1961 he found the peace he was looking for in Den Ilp. And from that moment on, the fame of Heijboer and his brides only increased. The Heijboerderij will become an attraction and there will be a shop opposite where the artist's work will be offered for sale. It is the start of a series of expansions on the site. That goes well for a long time, but there are crooked faces from residents who have to demolish their illegal buildings from the municipality. Heijboer became a political item in the early 1990s. The Municipal Interests party is emerging as a thorn in the side of the Heijboer family, because the changing politicians keep getting the idea that Heijboer is allowed more than the ordinary residents of the village. This is somewhat justified, as is evident from a statement by Mayor Kerkhoven in 1987: Distinction must be possible. The house slowly disappears behind wooden fences. Over the years, the number of brides of the graphic artist increases to five: Petra, Lotti, Joke, Marike and Maria, in random wedding order. The production of art is increasing. An Anton Heijboer Gallery has recently opened in the center of Groningen, run by Tim Muskee, art dealer and fan. And Heijboer's name is also established abroad. His work has been purchased by museums in America, Peru, Germany, Switzerland and England. A museum in Chicago has named a room after him.
