At the age of 60, Charles Saatchi is embarking on his most ambitious project yet. “Halfway between Tates Britain and Modern, he is opening a new gallery. At 40,000 sq ft, it is larger than any venue he has managed before. In it he will showcase his major trophies – Damien Hirst’s shark, Tracey Emin’s bed, Jake and Dinos Chapman’s vision of hell – and lots more. If he gets only a tenth of the 12 million people who walk along that stretch of river each year he will have increased his audience by 100 per cent. And, with an £8 a head entrance fee, the new gallery, which he has leased from a Japanese property company, could pay handsome dividends.”
