The Saatchi Gallery aims to provide an innovative forum
for contemporary art, presenting work by largely unseen young artists
or by international artists whose work has been rarely or never
exhibited in the UK.
The audience for exhibitions of contemporary art has
increased widely during the last ten years as general awareness and
interest in contemporary art has developed both in Britain and abroad.
Many artists showing at The Saatchi Gallery are unknown
when first exhibited, not only to the general public but also to the
commercial art world. Many of these artists are subsequently offered
shows by galleries and museums internationally. In this effect, the
gallery also operates as a springboard for young artists to launch
their careers.
The Gallery also includes a dedicated space for Saatchi
Online artists to exhibit and sell their work commission free. The
space features a rotating selection of winning Showdown artists chosen
from Saatchi Online Magazine's weekly critics' picks and Showdown
competitions.
