Very Unsubtle Sculpture Portraying Charles Saatchi’s Choking “Tiff” Lands in London Gallery

2013-08-02 08:34:43 未知

Just when Charles Saatchi thought he couldn’t be demonized any further, an unnamed artist has riffed on the recent incident in which the mega-collector was seen gripping his then (now-ex) wife Nigella Lawson’s throat at a London restaurant. Saatchi dismissed the incident — which was captured in pictures published all over the world — as a “playful tiff.” But no one bought it, including the London police, who invited Saatchi to stop by their headquarters for a chat.

Now, meet “Playful Tiff,” the sculpture (above) — on view at London’s Jealous Gallery. It depicts a man outfitted in a crisp business suit with arm outstretched and hand posed in the same choking motion, flesh that’s colored fire-engine red (perhaps a reference to the “unreasonable behavior” cited by Lawson in her divorce filing), and devil’s horns sprouting from his also very vermillion-hued head.

Lest anyone jump to conclusions, an accompanying sign near the sculpture reads: “PLEASE NOTE THIS IS NOT CHARLES SAATCHI [NOT is also emphasized in red] PLEASE FEEL FREE TO TAKE A PICTURE OF YOURSELF BEING STRANGLED BY NOT CHARLES SAATCHI ON YOUR MOBILE PHONE.” According to the sign, the piece was “donated anonymously.”
