The bronze sculpture “Argus” by Saske van der Eerden was installed in Amsterdam in 2022. It commemorates Marten Toonder (1912-2005), a renowned Dutch comic strip author. The artwork depicts Argus, a character from Toonder’s “Tom Poes” comic strip. Argus stands on “sacred ground” between Toonder’s former studio at Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal 230-232 and the building of De Telegraaf newspaper at number 225. This location holds historical significance as the birthplace of Tom Poes, Toonder’s iconic creation. The sculpture features a whimsical, anthropomorphic character with exaggerated features. It has a large, elongated snout, prominent eyes, and wears a bow tie. The bronze figure is positioned against a backdrop of classic Amsterdam architecture, with tall, narrow buildings and trees lining the street. Argus symbolizes the rich history of Dutch comic art and journalism. The artwork serves as a tribute to Toonder’s cultural impact and the enduring popularity of his characters. Visitors can find this playful piece of public art along the Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal, adding a touch of whimsy to Amsterdam’s urban landscape.
