The Saatchi Gallery is a London gallery for contemporary art, opened by Charles Saatchi in 1985 in order to exhibit his collection to the public. It has occupied different premises, first in North London, then the South Bank by the River Thames and currently in Chelsea.
Saatchi's goal is to show contemporary work that would otherwise not be seen in big London institutions such as Tate Modern. "The gallery's guiding principle is to show what is being made now by the most interesting artists of today.
Admission is free to all shows - including temporary curated exhibitions, as part of the Saatchi Gallery’s aim to bring contemporary art to the widest audience possible.
