Lunch with Charlie Saatchi

There are no ropes at the Saatchi gallery in Chelsea. Guests can lean in close enough to drop breath on the artworks. There are no walls full of boring portraits. At the Saatchi gallery it's all the young guns without any of the clutter.

Say what you will about the man. That he's a sneaky bastard with greedy fingerprints on a generation of British artists. Fingerprints all over talentless hacks who should never have won Turners.

But damn can the man place an artwork in a building.
