The Saatchi Opus HD for iPad

New: The Saatchi Opus HD app for iPad. The Saatchi Gallery first opened in a disused paint factory in Boundary Road, London, in 1985 and its influence on art in Britain and around the world has been felt ever since. The Saatchi Gallery shows the most interesting artists of the day, often acting as a springboard to artists unknown at the time, and has attracted much attention from both critics and the public – along with plenty of controversy. Any history of the Saatchi Gallery is a record of three decades of contemporary art, and the Saatchi Opus, produced in cooperation with the Saatchi Gallery, is its definitive chronicle. Now you can explore the Saatchi Opus in an incredible new digital multimedia edition specially created for the Apple iPad.

The original Saatchi Opus is a stunning 800-page publication, strictly limited to 950 copies, each personally signed by Charles Saatchi. The iPad edition recreates all of the content of the Opus, and includes exclusive media and features.
