Streetart Frankey in the centre of Amsterdam
Reported gone
Calimero, the little black chick with half an eggshell on his head, appears on the Nieuwe Herengracht. Created in Italy in 1963, he became especially popular in the Netherlands, where a 'Calimero' is someone who complains that the world is unfair because they are small.
Calimero is a Streetart Frankey artwork on Nieuwe Herengracht, in the centre of Amsterdam.
It is one of 184 Streetart Frankey works on our map in Centrum. 17 other works are still in place within about ten minutes on foot, so this one is easy to combine with a short Frankey walk.
Visitors or our own team have reported that this work is no longer there. Street art is temporary by nature, and Frankey's small sculptures are sometimes removed or taken. We keep the spot on the map so you can see where it was, and the works listed below are still in place nearby.
Het Parool wrote about this work in its Streetart Frankey column: read the article (in Dutch).
Our guides know where Frankey's pieces hide. Ask us for a private street art walking tour and we will build the route around the art, Frankey's work very much included.
