The Saatchi Gallery has always aimed to provide an innovative forum for contemporary art, presenting work by largely unseen young artists or by established 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 in Britain.
When The Saatchi Gallery first opened twenty years ago it was only those people 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 the gallery now receives over 600,000 visitors a year, and over 1,000 schools have organised student visits.
The Saatchi Gallery is moving from County Hall on London's South Bank to Chelsea, and it'll open again in about a year. The gallery has developed a Virtual Tour for those who wish to see the new gallery befo re it actually opens. The tour is available on The Saatchi Gallery's website and is entirely computer generated.
The departure from County Hall means that Triumph of Painting Parts Three, Four and Five will be on hold until the new Gallery opens. They will be seen together as the Gallery's opening exhibition which should be quite an experience and a feast for all contemporary art lovers.
