Saatchi Gallery
Saatchi Gallery review
Charles Saatchi's gallery, which opened after numerous delays in October 2008, has three floors, providing more than 70,000sq ft of space for temporary exhibitions. Given his fame as a promoter in the 1990s of what became known as the Young British Artists - Damien Hirst, Tracey Emin, Gavin Turk, Sarah Lucas et al - it surprised many that the opening exhibition was of new Chinese art. Since then Saatchi Gallery - housed in the historically significant Duke of York HQ - has continued its mission to provide a platform for unknown, young, contemporary artists both homegrown and international.
