ABOUT SAATCHI GALLERY
Since 1985, Saatchi Gallery has provided an innovative platform for contemporary art.
Exhibitions have presented works by largely unseen young artists, or by international artists
whose work has been rarely or never exhibited in the UK. This approach has made the
Gallery one of the most recognised names in contemporary art. Since moving to its current
70,000 square feet space in the Duke of York’s Headquarters in Chelsea, London, the
Gallery has welcomed over 10 million visitors. The Gallery hosts over 5,000 schools visits
annually and has over 6 million followers on social media. In 2019 Saatchi Gallery became a
charity, beginning a new chapter in its history.
