Peter Doig said the print is 'like a hand-painted poster, of the kind I made for my film club - "studiofilmclub" - in Trinidad.' For Desert Island Discs recently, Doig selected 'Want Fi Goh Rave’ by Linton Kwesi Johnson as one of his 8 tracks. 'It remains as fresh today as it was when I first heard it back in 1979.' It was in that year that Doig moved to London. 'I was very interested in Punk and particularly Post-punk music, and that was really the draw to come to London'.
Peter Doig will continue to kindly donate from future sales of the print, and we are extremely grateful to Paul Stolper Gallery for all their time and efforts to publish the prints and oversee the sales with no charge. All income the GPI receives will go towards ongoing renovation works to restore the Institute's building and help secure our future.
The GPI is an independent charity (1003001), it is not associated with any other organisation. We rely on grants and individual donations to continue to preserve and make available the stories of many black and Asian communities. See details below for ways to make a donation.
