The Saatchi Gallery in London aims to provide an innovative forum for contemporary art, presenting work by largely unseen young artists or by international artists whose work has been rarely or never exhibited in the UK.  

When The Saatchi Gallery first opened over 25 years ago it was only those 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 their visitor numbers now exceed 1.5 million a year.

I visited the Gallery to see the Sam Taylor-Johnson photograph exhibition of Coco Chanel's Paris apartment featuring 34 photographs that capture the private rooms of mademoiselle Chanel at 31 Rue Cambon. They were absolutely stunning and really worth a visit.
