About the artist - Peter van der Meer

Peter van der Meer was a Dutch sculptor and industrial designer. Van der Meer studied sculpture with Dirk Bus and Henri van Haaren at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague until 1963. He studied marble processing at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Carrara in the Italian city of Carrara.

Artist Peter van der Meer was called 'a sculpture kneader'. He formed his female figures and animal figures with thick clay plaques.

His acrobatically moving children are also typical. His sculptures often have a humorous side. As a result, Van der Meer had many exhibitions and commissions at a young age. His sculptures for public spaces were popular, such as 'Kangaroo Chair' on the Maurice Ravelweg in The Hague, 'Girl on a skippy ball' placed on the Heeswijkplein and 'Girl with bicycle' on the Spakenburgstraat in The Hague.
