saatchi re-opened


'The Saatchi Gallery is set to re-open in the 70,000 sq. ft. Duke of York HQ building on King's Road, Chelsea on October 9 2008 with an exhibition dedicated to new art from China.

The inaugural exhibition entitled The Revolution Continues: New Chinese Art will bring together the work of 30 of China’s leading artists in a cutting edge survey of recent painting, sculpture and installation.

Free admission to all shows - including temporary, curated exhibitions, as part of the Saatchi Gallery’s aim to bring contemporary art to the widest audience possible - has been enabled through the Gallery’s corporate partnership with the leading contemporary art auction house Phillips de Pury & Company.

The new Gallery will also include a dedicated space for Saatchi Online artists to exhibit and sell their work commission free. The space will feature a rotating selection of artists chosen from Saatchi Online Magazine’s weekly critics’ picks.'
