Streetart Frankey in the centre of Amsterdam
Reported gone
Auguste Rodin's The Thinker has found a seat on the Spui in this 2023 work. The famous bronze of a man lost in thought began life around 1880 as part of Rodin's Gates of Hell and became one of the most reproduced sculptures in the world. The Spui, with its bookshops and Friday book market, suits a thinker well.
The Thinker is a Streetart Frankey artwork on Spui, in the centre of Amsterdam. It appeared in 2023.
It is one of 184 Streetart Frankey works on our map in Centrum. 52 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.
