The Saatchi Gallery

Sloane Square, London

So Valentines day is over for this year... and I thought it would be like last year, some flowers, some wine and some good food. I gave my man a road map over France... dreaming of driving to Champagne...But, then during my scampi appetizer at the local Sardinian restaurant I was surprised with an invitation to the Babington House in Somerset for the weekend. During the rest of the meal there was nothing else to do but to smile. I am so grateful for my wonderful life.

These pictures are from my recent trip to the Saatchi Gallery where I fell in love with the Robert Fry Paintings. Gorgeous, slightly whimsical sensuality.

Charles Saatchi whom I wrote about in an earlier blog is known for his genius in picking new and promising talent. All the artwork represented in his Gallery right now, is done by young artists living mostly in Britain but also a few residing in New York and Berlin. The Gallery flows beautifully from room to room and while you are viewing the newcomers you can't help but think; which one of them or how many will hit the big bank? I mean Saatchi is best known for launching great careers for the artists that he picks.

With Love
