Friday, 29 January 2010 - Friday, 7 May 2010

Saatchi Gallery, Duke of York Square, Chelsea, SW3 4RY

Exhibitions: , Art, Sculpture, Painting, Gallery

How Much: Free!

2010 begins in earnest at the Saatchi Gallery with the opening of The Empire Strikes Back. After China, the Middle East and America, Uncle Charles turns his attention to the contemporary art being produced in India right now.

Expect the usual works that Saatchi likes - big, bold, sculptural pieces and the odd painting, occasional political statements and perhaps something that might cause some controversy.

When it works it's great, when it doesn't it all seems a bit facile, but given that the Saatchi Galery is free, it's always worth having a peek inside of an afternoon.

Until 07.05.10.
