Saatchi Gallery, Contemporary art gallery in Chelsea, United Kingdom.
The Saatchi Gallery displays contemporary artworks across several floors within the Duke of York's Headquarters building in Chelsea, a former military complex. The spacious rooms feature white walls and high ceilings that provide a neutral setting for rotating exhibitions of painting, sculpture, and installation.
Charles Saatchi founded this institution in 1985 in North London to make contemporary art accessible to a wider audience. It later moved to the South Bank and eventually found its permanent location in Chelsea, where it remains a central point for new artistic positions today.
Exhibitions rotate regularly and showcase work by artists exploring new directions in contemporary art. Visitors often find installations, large-scale paintings, and sculptural pieces that bring together different forms of expression and encourage reflection on current themes.
Access is through the main entrance on Duke of York Square, where an information desk is also located. Most rooms are on the ground floor and first floor, with an elevator connecting all public areas.
Since 2019, the institution operates as a registered charity and uses all revenue to fund rotating exhibitions. This keeps admission affordable for the public and ensures access to new art remains secure.
