The Saatchi Gallery
Charles Saatchi opened his gallery at Boundary Road, north London, in a disused paint factory in 1985. Since then the gallery has moved twice, first to London's County Hall on the South Bank in 2003, and then to the Duke of York's Headquarters in the Kings Road Chelsea in October 2008.
Over the years, The Saatchi Gallery has launched the careers of many young artists who have since become household names. For the first time one book, the Saatchi Opus, chronicles the breadth of work exhibited at The Saatchi Gallery over the past three decades from Lucian Freud to Damien Hirst and Andy Warhol to Zhang Xiaoghang.
Produced with the full cooperation of The Saatchi Gallery, the Saatchi Opus fulfils all the expectations of a connoisseur of contemporary art and is a vital addition to the library of anyone interested in current trends.
Running to 850 pages and measuring 50cm square, presented in a specially designed inlaid wooden art crate, the Saatchi Opus is an exclusive limited edition of 950 copies, each individually numbered and personally signed by Charles Saatchi.
Since 1985 The Saatchi Gallery has presented an ever-changing view of contemporary art from all over the world. It has had a profound influence on how contemporary art is perceived and has raised its profileEdward Booth-Clibborn, Editor
