Bio: Peter Doig was born in Edinburgh in 1959 and grew up in Trinidad and Canada before moving to London to study at Saint Martin’s School of Art and Chelsea School of Art. Since 2002, he has divided his time between London and Trinidad. His work is represented in major public and private collections worldwide. Major survey exhibitions include Tate Britain, London (2008, traveled to ARC/Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris and Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt, Frankfurt am Main, Germany, 2008–09); No Foreign Lands, National Gallery of Scotland, Edinburgh (2013, traveled to Musée des beaux-arts de Montréal, 2014); Fondation Beyeler, Riehen/Basel (2014–15); and National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo (2020); and Courtauld Gallery, London (2023). In 2023–24, he curated the exhibition Reflections of the Century at Musée d’Orsay, Paris, which placed his works in dialogue with selections from the museum’s collection. Doig taught for many years, notably at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf, Germany, where he held a professorship from 2004 to 2017. He was nominated for the Turner Prize in 1994, and in 2008 was awarded the Wolfgang Hahn Prize by the Gesellschaft für Moderne Kunst of the Museum Ludwig in Cologne, Germany. From 1995 to 2000 he served as a Trustee of Tate.
