We end up the night in one of the studios of the 501 art gallery after two students grabbed Yi Fan to show him one of the latest exhibited work by a local artist. As I look at it, I can hear Yi Fan presenting us as coming from Saatchi, while the eyes of the students starting to sparkle!
Charles Saatchi is famous in the UK for being the man who discovered most of the young British talents that now stand amongst the biggest names of the world’s contemporary art scene (or should I say market).
A couple of months ago, Charles Saatchi launched his virtual Saatchi Gallery in Chinese, in order to start attracting local talents, as the prices of Chinese contemporary art is sky rocketing on the global art market.
That’s how fast the Chinese art scene, even in Chongqing, understood the rules of the contemporary art game.
Unfortunately to them there is no more connection between the advertising agency we work for and the man, since him and his brothers sold all their shares in the nineties…
