Product Information

Doig created a series of paintings of Le Corbusier’s modernist communal living apartments known as l’Unité d’Habitation located at Briey-en-Forêt, in France. In the early 1990s Doig was involved with a group of architects and artists who operated from the building. The modern urban structures are partially revealed and hidden by the forest that surrounds them. As Doig explains: "When you walk through an urban environment, you take the strangeness of the architecture for granted." Exotic atmospheres, somnambulistic narratives: familiar yet haunting images poised between figuration and abstraction.

Peter Doig would participate in the 56th Venice Biennale, opening the Fondazione Bevilacque La masa. Further, on the secondary market his works have been sold for seven up to eight figures at auction. Doing so, Doig features in internationally reputed public and private collections, including the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA), Tate Modern in London, the British Museum n London, or the Museum of Modern Art in New York (MoMA). Dem in Trinidad, London und New York lebenden und arbeitenden britischen Maler Peter Doig widmet die Fondation Beyeler eine Ausstellung, die seine bedeutendsten Gemälde präsentiert. Doig, 1959 in Edinburgh geboren, wuchs in Trinidad und Kanada auf. Er ist ausserdem Professor für Malerei an der Kunstakademie Düsseldorf. In 1994, Doig had solo shows at Victoria Miro and at Gavin Brown’s Enterprise, in New York, which represented Elizabeth Peyton, Rirkrit Tiravanija, and other rising young innovators. “Peter saw unfashionability as an asset, as a weapon,” Brown recalled recently. “At the height of the Y.B.A.s, it was clear that he would outlast them.” He was short-listed for the Turner Prize in 1994 (the sculptor Antony Gormley won it that year), and a year later he was invited to be an artist-trustee of the Tate. The critical establishment, though, was not convinced. “[It’s] hard to see what all the fuss is about,” Artforum grumbled in 2000. “Doig is overstating his understatement.” When a Belgian collector said to him, “Tell me why I should buy your paintings,” Doig couldn’t think of an answer.

A girl with red lips and long blond hair sits in a purple canoe, one hand trailing listlessly in the water. Pine trees on the far shore are echoed by their reflections in the still lake. The scene is placid, yet ominous. We’ve been hearing a lot lately that “beauty” has been returning to art. The word is so overused it conveys little meaning, yet I can’t help saying that Peter Doig’s 12 paintings and 15 works on paper at the Arts Club are among the most beautiful works I’ve seen in Chicago recently. His landscapes, most based on photographs he collected from the media or took himself, are almost delirious confections that hover between scenes from reality and mental images. The beauty in them is not an absolute but a tentative, momentary experience of surprise and delight, making them part of the most significant trend in contemporary art–the rejection of the artist as revealer of truth in favor of the artist as conveyor of the incompleteness of human knowledge and the fragility of all human constructions. The exhibition will present many of Doig’s famous large-format works, which will be mirrored and complemented by an installation on the lower floor. Examples of Doig’s eye-catching and highly innovative graphic works, which show his rich inventiveness, will also be displayed downstairs. His graphic works, too, often provide the starting-point for his paintings. Artist Peter Doig wins case over painting he said was not his work". BBC News. 24 August 2016 . Retrieved 24 August 2016.

la suite de la vente d'une de ses œuvres White Canoe, 1990-1991, pour 8,53 millions d’euros par Sotheby's (Londres), il est devenu l'un des peintres vivants les plus chers. Vogel, Carol (30 June 2014). "Bacon Painting Sets Pace for Auctions in London". The New York Times. Im romantischen Sinne sind Doigs Gemälde Sehnsuchtsbilder, in denen sich der Betrachter verlieren kann. Seine Naturdarstellungen sind oft voller Geheimnis, so exotisch wie melancholisch, attraktiv wie unheilvoll.
