DUKE OF YORK'S HQ,
CHELSEA
The Saatchi Gallery opened in October 2008 in the 70,000 sq. ft. Duke of York HQ building on King's Road, Chelsea with an exhibition dedicated to new art from China.
 
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.
Phillips de Pury & Company Gallery Room presents a rotating exhibition of contemporary art.
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 competition.

INTRODUCTION TO THE
SAATCHI GALLERY
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 recent years as general awareness and interest in
contemporary art has developed both in Britain and abroad.
When The Saatchi Gallery first opened over twenty five years ago
it was only those who had a dedicated interest in contemporary
art who sought out the gallery to see work by new artists. The audience, however, built steadily over the years and by the time the gallery left its second home at County Hall, visitor numbers reached 600,000 per annum, with over 1,000 schools organising student visits.
The Saatchi Gallery has worked with media sponsors on a number
of shows including The Observer, The Sunday Times, Evening Standard, The Independent on Sunday and Time Out.
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.
