Sotheby’s announced via Instagram today that later this month, in its flagship auction of Contemporary art in London on 30th June, it will offer for sale Peter Doig’s Country-rock (wing-mirror) – one of the most important works by the artist ever to appear on the market. Having remained in the same collection since 1999, the year it was painted, Country-rock (wing-mirror)belongs to a series of three works which together rank among the most celebrated and desirable in the artist’s oeuvre. Estimated in the region of £9 million, the painting is the only work from the series ever to have appeared at auction.

Cheyenne Westphal, Co-Global Head of Contemporary Art at Sotheby’s, said:“The rainbow tunnel is one of the most prominent and resonant motifs in Doig’s oeuvre. For lovers of Doig, it has a supreme status - akin only perhaps to that of the canoe - and of all the works in which the motif appears, the Country-Rock series is the apogee. Doig is a giant in the current market, and this particular work is fabled. Its appearance at auction represents an all-time first - and hugely exciting - opportunity for collectors.”
