Dirk Bakker (1947-2021) - "Dora & Pinokkio"

- Oil on canvas. Original canvas. Review on the back about the artist. Hand-signed. Attached to the image gallery is a rare photograph of the author with his work. - With Dirk Bakker’s transition to immortality, the plastic firmament loses one of its most extraordinary and pure souls, a devoted demiurge who turned existence into a priesthood of color and fantasy. An illustrious member of the collective «Samen Sterk» and an indispensable pillar of Alkmaar’s cultural life, Bakker made his studio a lyrical sanctuary where pictorial matter and canvases piled up like temple treasures, giving life to a uniquely unmistakable universe of creatures spanning between humanity, toy, and fairy-tale myth. His painting, glorified in community centers, galleries such as De Buitenkans — where his iconic 2011 work now guards with a protective aura the tea room “De Trog” — private collections and museums, always functioned as a beacon of bright light capable of pouring joy and sacred intrigue over anyone who contemplated his work. Although earthly forces ultimately parted him from the easels, the legacy of this master of innocence and mystery transcends human finitude, remaining eternally alive as an irreplaceable testament to his genius and kindness. - Dimensions of the unframed image: 50 x 50 cm / 55 x 55 cm with exclusive custom frame.

Certain lots, due to their antiquity and value, require an export permit issued by the Ministry of Culture.

As art logistics experts, at Montbaron Gallery we are committed to ensuring that every piece reaches its destination safely and in the best possible condition. To this end, we work with a network of professionals specialized in art transport, who guarantee maximum care throughout the process. It is important to note that the shipping cost prices indicated in the listing are indicative and subject to changes depending on various circumstances. These include fluctuations in transport market rates, changes in delivery location, the size and weight of the work, and possible extraordinary circumstances, such as fluctuations in fuel costs or adjustments in customs and import tariffs. The final shipping cost will be calculated precisely based on these factors, and the client will always be informed in advance before proceeding with the shipment. Our aim is to offer the best possible service, adapting to each client’s needs and ensuring the artwork arrives at its destination quickly and safely, with no surprises. The frame shown in the previous images has been added to the work by a third party or by the seller, so it is not an integral part of the object. This frame is provided at no additional cost so that, when the work arrives at your home, it can be displayed immediately on your wall. Consequently, damages to the frame that do not affect the integrity of the artwork will not be considered a valid reason to open a claim or request a cancellation.

It is also noted that the indicated dimensions may show slight physical variations inherent to the framing process or the original support. For rigorous consultation, collectors are requested to refer exclusively to the detailed technical sheet that accompanies each work, where all technical information, certified measurements, and the conservation status of the piece are specified.
