Contemporary art at the Saatchi Gallery
Contemporary art in the grand former Duke of York’s headquarters, always with something unexpected around the corner.
An afternoon spent looking at something new.
The Saatchi Gallery is made for wandering, with spacious rooms, changing exhibitions and work that rewards a little time and attention. Spend an afternoon moving between artists and exhibitions at your own pace, then step back into Chelsea with plenty of time left for the rest of the day.
Come without a list of things to see.
There is something enjoyable about not knowing exactly what will catch your eye. Move between the galleries, stop when something holds your attention and let the exhibition guide the afternoon rather than trying to see everything.
Contemporary art in a grand setting.
Housed in the former Duke of York's headquarters, the Saatchi brings contemporary work into a building with a very different sense of scale and history. Painting, photography, sculpture and newer forms sit alongside one another, creating exhibitions that feel open-ended rather than overly prescribed.
A reason to come back.
The exhibition programme changes throughout the year, bringing new artists, ideas and perspectives into the gallery. It means there is rarely a single definitive way to experience the Saatchi, a second visit can feel entirely different from the first.
