Saatchi Goes Mainstream? Don’t Bet On It.

Charles Saatchi’s infamous collection of controversial work by the so-called Young British Artists is headed for storage, and won’t be back on view at the collector’s London gallery until 2006. In their place, a “new show is devoted to the work of five painters, Peter Doig, Luc Tuymans, Marlene Dumas, Jörg Immendorf, and Martin Kippenberger, described by Charles Saatchi as ‘key European artists’… Yet those who believe Mr Saatchi has lost his appetite for shrewd investment in the work of unknown artists should think again.”
