Loving home wanted for Saatchi collection
2012-08-22 08:39:23 Saatchi collection
What will happen to Charles Saatchi's collection? Two years ago, the high-profile British collector offered the cream of his holdings to the nation, under a grand plan to bring works such as Tragic Anatomies, 1996, by the Chapman brothers and Tracey Emin's 1998 piece My Bed to the people. But culture secretary Jeremy Hunt's suggestion that the Arts Council accepts Saatchi's bequest has stalled according to the Daily Telegraph. A spokesperson for Tate, meanwhile, reportedly said that it had not wished to intervene in ongoing discussions with the Arts Council, leaving Saatchi's collection homeless. The turn of events has prompted critic Jonathan Jones to stand up for Saatchi in today's Guardian. "Emin's bed has its detractors. But 20:50 [Richard Wilson's sump oil installation], first created at Matt's Gallery in 1987, is not a piece of 'young British art', a part of YBA culture; it does not represent an art trend or a celebrity artist. For me, it is simply a modern masterpiece, a contemporary classic," hollers Jones.
