HOWARD HODGKIN (1932-2017)

Conceived by four contemporary artists, Howard Hodgkin, Marc Camille Chaimowicz, Richard Hamilton and Anthony Caro, The Four Rooms exhibition was presented at Liberty & Co., London in 1984. The four installations inspired very different atmospheres from one another, the playful and colourful display of Howard Hodgkin clashing with the minimalistic interior furnishings by Hamilton, featuring bare walls and a few functional objects lacking any sign of decorative value, or with the ascetic room by Chaimowicz and the Cubist sculptural display by Caro.

"I wanted to make a strong little table you could use to stand on to mend something around the house, and use the way plywood absorbs ink spills." Howard Hodgkin
