Charles Saatchi: The hideousness of the art world

Even a show-off, as I found this new super-rich art buying crowd vulgar and superficial depressing

be a buyer of art today is probably large and vulgar. It features the Eurotrashy, Hedge-Fundy Hamptonites, the oligarchs of fashion and the oligarchs, and art dealers with levels of self-masturbation. They were found tucked away with his super yachts in Venice for the Biennale this year, the spectacular works of art. Venice has been consolidated in the timing of this new art world, next to St Barts for Christmas and St Tropez in August, in a dizzying round of glamorous full of socialization, a glamorous party to another.

artistic references are current on important cases to be seen as cultured, elegant and, of course, wonderfully rich.

Do these people actually enjoy looking at art? Or just enjoy having readily identifiable major brand images, apparently bought in the auction rooms at great prices, to decorate their homes of many, floating or otherwise, in an immediate manifestation of the drop-dead coolth wealth. His pleasure is charming his friends measure the weight of their ornaments, and be surprised.

No wonder, then, that successful art dealers based in super-mystical power that art has become more of the super-rich. The new collectors, some of which have become multimillionaires many times over through their BNO business, are reduced to jibbering gratitude for his art dealer, art consultant who can help them to appear refined, elegant and modern, surrounded masterpieces painfully fresh.

Not long ago, I thought that everything that has broadened interest in contemporary art is to be welcomed only one elitist snob who wants art reserved a group worthy of the fans. But even a selfish narcissistic bravado that I find this new world of art as toe curling for comfort. In the fervor of a peacock, too, do not even need to waste your time looking at the exhibits. In mega-explosions in the world of art, the photos that end up as wallflowers.

I know many people in the world of art, just to socialize with the few I like, and have little time to chew your nails with anxiety about the criticism that I can hear.

• If I be of good behavior for a while, my dirty little secret is that they do not really think many people in the world of art have much feeling for art and simply can not tell a good artist from a weak validation until the artist has received from others - received pronunciation. For professional conservators, the selection of specific paintings for an exhibition is a daunting prospect, too revealing a lack of demonstration of what the trade called "eye". They prefer to display video, and incomprehensible post-conceptual installations and photo-text panels for the approval of their peers just as dangerous and shortsighted. This "conceptualized" the work was regurgitated constantly since the 1960s, over and over and over again.
• Few people in contemporary art show much curiosity. Most spend their days in a nonsense, instead of trying to understand why an artist is more interesting than another, or why it works one image and another not.

especially art critics see the shows that are assigned to cover their publishers, and have little incentive to look more. Art dealers rarely see the exhibits in the galleries of other dealers. I heard that almost everyone crowded around the openings of great works of art just look at the screen and are only there to drink. There is nothing wrong with that except that none of them ever come back to look at art -. But I say to everyone, and I really believe, who saw the exhibition

Please do not read my opinion on the pompous to the vast majority of programs in the gallery, where dealers display art that I hope someone wants to buy for your house, new collectors are born every week. This aspect of the art world fills me with pleasure, if I like the art or not.

I wonder if I art buying, if there was money in it for me. No money in it for me. All the advantages that make the sale of art is like buying more art. Nice for me because I can go in search of a large number of new work to display. Nice for those in the art world to do this as a testimony of my venality, superficiality, ill.
