The definitive monograph on Turner Prize–nominated Peter Doig. Doig reopened painting in the 1990s with a fresh visual language—an ironic blend of Romanticism and Post-Impressionism that yields haunting, dreamlike landscapes. This lavish volume—cover and interior designed with the artist—surveys his entire career: paintings, drawings, found photographs, and reference material. Art historians Richard Shiff and Catherine Lampert trace influences from places Doig lived (England, Canada, Trinidad) and the role of memory in his work, from early 1990s pieces to his latest series. Published in association with Michael Werner Gallery.
About the author: Peter Doig has had major exhibitions worldwide, including a 2008 traveling survey at Tate Britain, Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, and Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt. Richard Shiff is a noted art historian and critic; Catherine Lampert is an independent curator and writer.
