Streetart Frankey in the centre of Amsterdam
Reported gone
One morning in 2021, Frankey skated the Keizersrace, the Keizersgracht skating race, on unfrozen water. The stunt drew coverage from Het Parool, De Telegraaf, NH Nieuws, AT5 and AD. It plays on the Dutch longing for canals frozen hard enough to skate on, something that happens only rarely.
This Streetart Frankey artwork is on Frank de Ruwe schaatste heen en weer over de Keizersgracht, op het stuk tussen de Nieuwe Spiegelstraat en de Leidsestraat, in the centre of Amsterdam. It appeared in 2021.
It is one of 184 Streetart Frankey works on our map in Centrum. 65 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.
