At the beginning of the 1950s Pieck was entrusted with the design of the original fairy tale park in the Efteling in Kaatsheuvel , from which the largest amusement park in the Netherlands developed.
Anton Pieck's twin brother Henri Christiaan Pieck was also a painter, draftsman and illustrator.
Pieck was honored with a bronze bust in the place where he died, Overveen, and a school in Kaatsheuvel was named after him. There has been an Anton Pieck Museum in Hattem since 1984 .
