Together with Woody van Amen Tajiri and Daan van Golden , i consider Zekveld to be one of the great 4 Pop Art artists in the Netherlands. Zekveld was appreciated by Hans Sonnenberg , gallery owner of galerie delta in Rotetrdam and over the years he stayed loyal to Zekveld. The fame of Zekveld has never taken off, but now that Sixties and Seventies art are making a revival, Zekveld his works surface at auctions and fetch reasonable prices. Still affordable, but definitely on the rise.

www.ftn-books.com has bought a great small collection of Zekveld catalogues that were published for the Delta exhibitions which is now for sale.

Key Hiraga (1936-2000)

Rooted in Pop Art and Hippie art, this symbiosis of these influences in the art of Key Hiraga created an original approach to subject and painting itself. These paintings are one of a kind and can be immediately recognized for being done by Hiraga.

As with many of the artists from the final years of the Sixties and early Seventies these works are almost forgotten, but now and then they surface again. For instance there is a dutch artist belonging to the same category…. Jakob Zekveld. Color schemes are almost the same but compositions are totally different.  here is one by Zekveld.

Although i have never seen his works in agllery nor museum, i am a fan , because his works are original and filled with symbolism and never bore. the following publication on Hiraga is available at www.ftn-books.com
