Fodor's Review:
Charles Saatchi, who made his fortune building an advertising empire that successfully "rebranded" Margaret Thatcher's Conservative Party, is an astute art collector who has made acquisitions that regularly create headlines. Saatchi's personal collection, exhibited in his large private gallery, reflects the leading edge of the British avant-garde. Paula Rego, Damien Hirst, Rachel Whiteread, Janine Antoni, and Tracey Emin have all been shown. At this writing, the new location in Chelsea, complete with stark white galleries, a bookshop, and café, was scheduled to open by fall 2007; check the Web site for updates.
