Anton van Duinkerken died of cancer in Nijmegen in 1968. When he died, the Anton van Duinkerken Monument Committee was founded in Bergen op Zoom. That committee commissioned Hein Vree to make a statue of our Anton. It was first located on Sint-Josephplein, close to the house where this Bergen poet was born, Sint-Josephstraat 9. In 2003 it moved to the Grote Markt, where it still stands today.
