Curator’s Tour of The Morgan Stanley Exhibition: Peter Doig

Curator Dr Barnaby Wright (Deputy Head of The Courtauld Gallery and Daniel Katz Curator of 20th Century Art) takes an in-depth look at The Morgan Stanley Exhibition: Peter Doig at The Courtauld Gallery. The exhibition presents an exciting new chapter in the career of one of the most celebrated and important painters working today. Since relocating to London, Doig has been developing paintings started in Trinidad, New York and elsewhere, which have been worked up alongside completely fresh paintings, including a new London subject. The works produced for the exhibition at The Courtauld convey this particularly creative experience of transition, as Doig explores a rich variety of places, people, memories and ways of painting. The Gilbert and Ildiko Butler Drawings Gallery is also showcasing the artist’s work as a printmaker with a display that unveils for the first time a series of prints Doig made in response to the poetry of his friend and collaborator, the late Derek Walcott (1930-2017). Tickets include entry to The Courtauld’s permanent collection. Friends go free. 10 Feb – 29 May 2023 The exhibition is sponsored by Morgan Stanley. Supported by Kenneth C. Griffin and the Huo Family Foundation, with additional support from the Art Mentor Foundation Lucerne.
