In 1971 Zandvoort commissioned artist Bep Sturm den Bergh to make two sculptures of the Molenaar couple. These two statues and the statue of Kees Verkade ‘The Old Man on the Couch’ are the only works of art made by the population of that time. Floris Molenaar (1841-1927) was initially a fisherman by trade and later in life when he gave up fishing, he became an announcer and fish auctioneer. He also peddled his handcart with ‘nice acid’ past the houses. In the summer months he and his wife Arendje van der Mije stood with the cart at the Oude Strandweg. The couple lived with their 10 children on Schulpweg near Schelpenplein. Their house was lost during the demolition of the sea front during the Second World War. The bronze ‘Floris’ is immortalized as an announcer in old Zandvoort costume with the latch in his hand and the bronze ‘Arendje’ is depicted in traditional costume with a basket on her back that consisted of 2 parts: the ‘bone’ and the ‘siger’ that fit together. On her arm she has a handle basket with a cup and knife in it. The cup was for measuring a portion of shrimp, the knife to clean the fish.

Sculptor Kees Verkade had in 1965 his studio in an old Zandvoort house in the Smedestraat, where he made the portrait of Sir Winston Churchill, among other things. The various exhibitions in the Galerie Eijlers in Zandvoort already showed that the young Verkade had talent. Sports and games were his great source of inspiration, but the circus topic was also widely appreciated. His first exhibition was in the Haarlem fish hall and the sculpture ‘Mother and Child’ was purchased by the Frans Halsmuseum, who also later purchased the ‘Thrower’. He received his first assignment from the municipality of Haarlem, where ‘Shopping’ has been placed on the corner of Grote Houtstraat. Not only Haarlem has a few statues, the artworks of Verkade are also well represented in the municipality of Zandvoort. From 1970, Verkade’s monumental works can be found all over the world, from New York to Nice and from Monaco to Maastricht.
