Havekost, Eberhard | Vier Kabinen, 2000 — available on Composition Gallery

View in a Room

// Eberhard Havekost's Vier Kabinen (Four Cabins) is a minimalist lithograph that depicts the clean, symmetrical facade of a modern building, focusing on two balcony sections. Rendered in muted earth tones with a striking blue sky above, the balconies display a blend of architectural precision and simplicity, each balcony visually divided, giving a modular impression. The choice of colors—one section with a warm red hue and the other in cool blue—adds a subtle contrast that enhances the uniformity and balance of the composition. Created in 2000 and limited to an edition of 100, Vier Kabinen reflects Havekost's fascination with contemporary architecture and urban landscapes, capturing a quiet, contemplative view of modern living spaces.

Eberhard Havekost (Germany, 1967–2019) was a German painter recognized for his photorealistic yet abstracted depictions of contemporary life. His works explored themes of perception, media influence, and the blurred boundaries between reality and technology. Havekost's art challenged viewers to question visual authenticity in an age dominated by digital imagery.

The point of departure for my paintings is an emotional quality or a factuality. In other words, something I can feel.
- Eberhard Havekost

The contemporary German painter Eberhard Havekost uses multimedia images as the basis for his work. Havekost takes clips from television, videos and magazines, formulates computer images of the shots and uses them as a template for his paintings. His creations explore themes such as politics, nature and people. Some of his more notable pieces include the 1998 work 'Kontakt,' 'Car Park,' from 2001 and 'Shelf,' which he completed in 2002. Eberhard Havekost has been compared to fellow German Visual Artist Gerhard Richter. Eberhard Havekost interned to be a stonemason, but later attended and graduated from the Hochschule fur Bildende Kunste (Academy of Fine Art) in Dresden, Germany after being awarded the prestigious Schmidt-Rotluft Scholarship. Havekost's exhibitions have been on display in galleries across the United States and Europe. In addition, his works have appeared in Museums like the Denver Art Museum and the museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City. In 2016, Havekost's art will be featured at the Anton Kern Gallery in New York. Early in his career, Havekost received the Dorothy Van Staten Art Award. Since 2010, Eberhard Havekost has been a Professor at the Kunstakademie (Art Academy) of Dusseldorf, Germany.

What is appropriation?

Appropriation in art involves using pre-existing images or objects with little or no modification. This technique has played a significant role across various art forms, including visual arts, music, performance, and literature. In visual arts, appropriation refers to the practice of adopting, sampling, recycling, or borrowing elements—or even entire forms—of existing visual culture, integrating them into new works to create meaning or critique.
