Eberhard Havekost: Titel

Considered one of the great talents in contemporary art, Eberhard Havekost has developed a distinctive and innovative style characterized by his zooming in on details and the use of radical perspectives. This catalog of the TITEL exhibition currently on view in Duisburg s Center for Modern and Contemporary Art captures Havekost s singular vision, from the digital photographic material liberated from the traces of handcraft through which the artist casts a cool gaze upon everyday surroundings, to his more recent penchant for the abstract."
