Saatchi Gallery
http://helenevent.blogspot.com

The Saatchi Gallery is a London gallery for contemporary art, opened by Charles Saatchi in 1985 in order to exhibit his collection to the public. It has occupied different premises, first in North London, then the South Bank by the River Thames and currently in Chelsea. The gallery has been a major influence on art in Britain since its opening.

In 2010 it was announced that the gallery would be given to the British public, becoming the Museum of Contemporary Art for London.

Saatchi & Saatchi is a global advertising agency. It was listed on the London Stock Exchange and founded by brothers Maurice (now Lord Saatchi) and art collector Charles in 1970. Saatchi & Saatchi has offices in over 80 countries around the world.

The Saatchi brothers were born into a family of Iraqi Jews in Baghdad; the name "Saatchi" means "Watchmaker" in Turkish.

Saatchi brothers were noted for their campaign "Labour isn't working" on behalf of the Conservative Party before the 1979 UK general election and for the advertisements for British Airways, Silk Cut and other state-owned interests privatised by the Conservatives in the 1980s.
