= Saatchi Yates = Saatchi Yates is a commercial art gallery in London, founded by Phoebe Saatchi Yates and Arthur Yates. The gallery focuses on representing and showcasing work of unseen, breakthrough artists across its 10,000sqft of exhibition space. It opened with the aim to stamp new talents for the coming decades.

History
Saatchi Yates opened in October 2020 on Cork Street, Mayfair, the spiritual home of the modern and contemporary art market in London.

Phoebe and Arthur spent three years preparing for the gallery launch, during which time they built an extensive network of collector and dealer relationships. Working alongside Charles Saatchi as an advisor on this “collaborative venture”, they developed a gallery model to take the commercial art world in an exciting new direction. Building something very alien to Mayfair, Phoebe and Arthur search for artists “in the wrong places”. The gallery discovers artists via social media and networking, opposed to the traditional methods of graduate shows and smaller galleries.

Saatchi Yates inaugural exhibition in October 2020 showcased Swiss London-based artist Pascal Sender. The open-office on the lower ground floor is also dedicated to selling works by blue-chip artists sourced from private collections.

The gallery maintains the Saatchi narrative of showing and buying young artists, with the difference being - they will stay with them for the long haul and nurture their careers.

Artists
Saatchi Yates opened with a show of new paintings by Pascal Sender. The gallery has represented Sender since the founding of Saatchi Yates in October 2020. The AR-driven artist was discovered by Phoebe and Arthur in “a small, random corner of the internet” and their relationship developed amidst the COVID-19 Pandemic. “We stalked him. We loved him. We followed him and it all led to this”.
