Streetart Frankey in Amsterdam West
Popeye the Sailor Man appears on the Kinkerstraat, one of the busy shopping streets of Amsterdam West. Created by E.C. Segar in 1929, the pipe-smoking sailor who gains superhuman strength from a can of spinach became one of the most famous cartoon characters of the twentieth century.
Popeye is a Streetart Frankey artwork on Kinkerstraat 87, in Amsterdam West.
It is one of 111 Streetart Frankey works on our map in West. 51 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.
