On April 7 I flew to London for the day to mainly see the Chris Ofili retrospective at Tate Britain. I have loved his work for a long time, I had to see the show as I have barely seen any of his paintings in reality. I spent the rest of the day on a mad dash around the city visiting most of the major galleries including the newly opened Saatchi gallery in Chelsea. It's a beautiful space, very clean and precise, the architect did a good job. However you get the feeling that Saatchi's time has passed.
