The Saatchi Gallery is a London gallery for contemporary art, opened by Charles Saatchi (described both as a 'super collector' and as 'the most successful art dealer of our times'.)in 1985 in order to show his immense yet diverse art collection to the public. Charles Saatchi's art collection, and hence the gallery's shows, have had distinct phases, starting with US artists and minimalism, moving on to the Damien Hirst-led Young British Artists, followed by shows purely of painting and more recently promoting once again art from America in an exhibition entitled USA Today at the Royal Academy in London.
The Saatchi Gallery has had a phenomenal influence on art in Britain for over 20yrs. Many artists shown at the gallery are unknown not only to the general public but also to the commercial art world: showing at the gallery has provided a springboard to launch careers. It has also had a history of media controversy, which it has courted, and has had extremes of critical reaction.
An impressive and unique venue, The Saatchi Gallery houses one of the most influential collections of contemporary art in London. The gallery displays works from an array of national and international sculptors, painters, photographers, and multimedia artists, many who have never before been seen in London.
The Saatchi Gallery prides itself on supporting new and previously un-exhibited artists and in this way acts as a springboard for their careers. The new Saatchi Gallery website currently receives over 50 million hits a day with over 20,000 artists having joined up so far.
