Peter Doig

Peter Doig’s works draw their inspiration and imagery from a variety of sources including photographs, art history, film stills, posters, and magazines as well as his own experiences living in Canada, the United Kingdom and Trinidad.

In 2007, he became a household name when his painting “White Canoe” sold for over $10 million at auction, setting the record at the time for the highest price fetched by a living European artist. He has held major retrospectives at the Tate Britain, the Paris Museum of Modern Art and the Montreal Museum of Fine Art.
