's modernist communal living apartments known as ''l' Unité d’Habitation'' located at Briey-en-Forêt, in France. In 1991, Doig was involved with a group of architects and artists known as La Première Rue who worked on the restoration of the building. The modern urban structures are partially revealed and hidden by the forest that surrounds them, a characteristic Doig explores in his works of the subject. Doig explained, "I had no idea that I might paint the building, I just was there sort of literally scrapping paint off the inside of the building, scraping the varnish off. But then, you know, walking around the building and taking photographs of it, I realised that the photographs reminded me of some of the paintings I had already made, and I thought, ‘Maybe I could paint- maybe paint this building as well’. So, I started experimenting with these, you know, drawings and photographing and filming it and getting more and more excited about what I was seeing, really." Pop culture references also occur frequently in Doig's work. Created in the late 1990s, a series of paintings and works on paper – including works such as ''Country-Rock (Wing Mirror)'' (1999) – depict a tunnel, a familiar landmark for Toronto residents since an anonymous artist painted a rainbow over it, at the northbound

Doig not only selected and screened the films; he also painted posters advertising the week's film. He told an interviewer that he found this ongoing project liberating because it was "much more immediate" than his usual work.

Phillips auctioned Peter Doig's 1991 canvas, ''Rosedale'', depicting a Toronto snowfall, which was guaranteed for $25 million and sold for $28.8 million to a telephone bidder, an auction record for the artist at the time. In 2016, a former Canadian corrections officer began a $5 million lawsuit against Doig over a picture he claimed was by Doig despite the artist's denial it was his work. A Chicago court ruled in Doig's favour later that year, finding that the painting was the work of a similarly named man, Peter Doige. In 2023, Doig was awarded $2.5 million in sanctions against the painting's owner, the art gallery representing the owner, and their lawyer.
