America and Korea meet @ The Saatchi

On my summer gallery cruise I checked out the Abstract America: New Painting and Sculpture exhibition in Kings Road. The last time I was there I was trying out delicious food on the street food market and before that it was to check out the contemporary Middle Eastern Art exhibition. I really shouldn't critic what I don't know much of but I had to share this with you from the Saatchi site. This is absolutely hilarious - It was in the website under the reviews section.

A message to the artists included in Abstract America: Apologies for some of our art critics in the UK. A number of them know very little about contemporary art, obviously. But they do sometimes get there eventually, usually by the time the art is no longer very contemporary. 20 years ago they gave the thumbs-down to our Warhol, Judd, Twombly, Nauman, Guston, Marden exhibitions, that included many of their greatest works - if that's any consolation.

The top floor of the Saatchi featured Korean Contemporary Art for the first time on an international scale. They had some stunning pieces!
