Streetart Frankey in Amsterdam Zuid
Streetart Frankey pays tribute to the late José ‘leopard print’ van den Hooven, a neighbourhood icon of De Pijp
Reported gone
Ode to an Artist is Frankey's 2023 tribute to the late José van den Hooven, known for her love of leopard print and a familiar figure in the streets of De Pijp. It honours the kind of colourful local character who gives a neighbourhood its soul.
Ode To An Artist is a Streetart Frankey artwork on Hemonystraat, in Amsterdam Zuid. It appeared in 2023.
It is one of 99 Streetart Frankey works on our map in Zuid. 15 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.
