Piët, Frans (1905-1997). Sjors en Sjimmie. De Koekfabriek

India ink on paper. 106 original pages from the book (mostly in double-sheet, each two pages numbered identically), published in Sjors magazine, 1966-67 and as a book by Spaarnestad, 1970. Each sheet approx. 39 x 27 cm.

Frans Piët began his work on Sjors—the Dutch successor to Martin Branner’s Perry Winkle—in 1938. This collection originates from Piët’s private archive. To our delight part of this archive, which was previously considered lost, was rediscovered in a moving box on an attic. The material is offered here in its entirety, across seven lots in this auction. (total 106)
