Visions of Doig
BASEL – In 2007 at Sotheby’s he was one of the first contemporary artists to go beyond the $10 M threshold with White Canoe. He thus became one of the champions of the return to figurative art. Peter Doig, born in 1959, draws his inspiration from a repertoire that combines media iconography and personal memories. The sublime landscapes of a childhood in Trinidad and Canada have a special place.
• Peter Doig at the fondation Beyeler, from 23 November 2013 to 22 Marchs 2015.
