Van Exter

Original drawings by Marten Toonder (Studios) have always been very rare and that can and will never change. In 2010, from Toonder’s estate, the physical part (the original drawings and letters and the like) that Marten Toonder himself made was definitively incorporated into the collection of the Letterkundig Museum Leiden and has since then been the property of the Dutch state. Also the drawings by staff of Marten Toonder Studios are housed in museums. See the last photo. The chance that original drawings will come onto the market has thus become very small. Jan Dirk van Exter (13/10/1915 - 11 May 1982, Amsterdam) began his career in 1932 at the Heldersche Courant. From 1934 he was a freelance copywriter and illustrator for various magazines. Just as this would start, the war broke out. In 1943-44 Van Exter worked at the Toonder-Geesink Studios. In December 1946 Van Exter began the balloon strip 'Rikki en de Waterdemon van het Alkmaarder-meer' for several North Holland newspapers. This strip was adopted a year later by all papers of the then newly formed Regional Dagblad Pers and ran until 1956, as did Van Exter’s children's strip 'Pim, Pam en Pom'. Van Exter’s most successful strip was 'Brommy en Tommy', which appeared in the newspaper Het Parool from September 26, 1958 to 1978. This long-running text strip about two cute bears was transformed into balloon-strip format in 1972. Many of his strips were reissued. His series 'Rikki Visser' had a strong influence on Dick Vlottes. In the Dutch city Almere, two streets are named after 'Rikki Visser' and 'Brommy en Tommy' and another after Van Exter himself, all part of the district "Striphelden". This lot contains a beautiful, large, original drawing (a complete day strip) from a Pim, Pam en Pom story, a very early strip by Van Exter. Original work by Van Exter is almost not circulating. See also the photos that form part of the description. This lot will be well packaged and sent by registered mail.
