Saatchi Gallery in Adelaide: British Art Now 30 July - 23 October 2011 Saatchi Gallery in Adelaide: British Art Now brings together the audacious best of contemporary art straight from London’s internationally acclaimed Saatchi Gallery – arguably the biggest influence on contemporary British art over the past 25 years. It features groundbreaking works that challenge conventional artistic sensibilities, created by more than forty of the new generation of daring British contemporary artists.

Also on display with Saatchi Gallery in Adelaide is Tracey Emin’s controversial My Bed, one of the most iconic works of art of the twentieth century. My Bed sparked a furore as a Turner Prize nomination in 1999 for its confessional revelations of the artist’s sexual exploits and self-destructive lifestyle and became a signifier for the ‘shock’ strategies of the YBAs.   For more information on featured works, check out our artist and exhibition videos , as well as our special Channel 7 SA Life feature .
