Saatchi

He certainly wouldn't be the first business man to not only get in involved in the art scene, but to change it forever. Patronage like his opens up the door for a world of art which might only be able to survive given the attention and funding he brings to it. Saatchi has become not only a medium under which conceptual art thrives, he can also be viewed as high emperor of the art world - dictating like the moon does the tides of the sea. It would appear he has the Midas touch, even though he's found many enemies along the way.
His recent attention on Chinese art has led the entire world to look east, and who knows what might come of it?
His website has opened up possibilities for many young artists to gain recognition, even though artists have been exhibiting their works online since the internet became readily available, the tendency is to look no further than what's under the Saatchi name. It's truly awe-inspiring to see the sheer numbers of artists buzzing around under him and all he stands for, hoping to be noticed by him or someone like him and flung head first into the limelight.
