Saatchi Gallery at night

Contemporary art in London is represented by the Saatchi Gallery, founded in 1985 by Charles Saatchi. He had incredibly interesting art collections, and he wanted to share these with the world. The collections of Charles Saatchi evolved over time. Originally, they consisted of minimalism art by American painters; later they contained the works of young artists from Great Britain, and in their final form they were collections of paintings by well-established European authors.

Authors of collections in the Saatchi Gallery

The authors who contributed to the minimalism collections in the gallery included Jeff Koons, Ashley Bickerton, David Salle, Carrol Dunham, Andy Warhol, Kenny Scharff or Donald Judd. These also served as inspiration for the Young British Artists, who then contributed to the gallery collections in the nineties.

A fire in 2004 destroyed part of the collections, estimated at 50,000,000 pounds. From the next year onward, the Saatchi Gallery refocused itself on the works of established European authors such as Marlene Dumas, Martin Kippenberger, Luc Tuymans and Peter Doig.

Saatchi Gallery has the scenery it deserves: a beautiful building and picturesque surroundings

The Saatchi Gallery is located in a historic building at the Sloan Square in London. It occupies all the rooms of this building, and its art exhibits take an area of 70,000 square feet. The interiors of the gallery are modern and simple and excel thanks to its high ceilings, which serve as an excellent canvas for all sorts of special events. The capacity of the gallery is 1500 visitors.

The galley changes its exhibits about 3 to 4 times per year. The Painter’s Painters exhibit will take place from 30 November; it will introduce the work of contemporary artists such as Bjarne Melgaard, Raffi Kalenderian or David Salle.

The Summer Chateau of St. Vojtěch at night

The Summer Chateau of St. Vojtěch lies in the beautiful nature of the Vysočina hills, near the town of Počátky. It consists of a large plot with ponds, garden alcoves and tennis courts. Whoever decides to visit will immediately feel engulfed in the noble and sophisticated times of the first republic.

Redevelopment into its Original Appearance

The chateau and surrounding plots have always belonged to the Smrčkovy family. The Chateau of Vilém Smrčka was renamed to the Chateau of St. Vojtěch, since one of the branches of the spring bearing this same name goes all the way to the chateau.

The chateau, originally a summer villa, was in a very desolate condition a few years ago. It is gradually being redeveloped into its original look. The construction work is financed by the family on their own, and so far progress has been truly phenomenal. The hotel is very popular, especially due to the huge amount of care given both to traditions and nature.

Suites and rooms named after important persons

The chateau is open to the public since 2014 and invites guests with its calming atmosphere and unique luxurious accommodation. This cozy hotel has chambermaids taking care of its guests, always with proper respect and care. Guests can choose from 4 luxurious suites and 7 rooms.

And these aren’t your standard rooms and suites; they bear the names of important persons from the first republic, making them truly unique. You can for instance stay in the Adina Mandlová suite, with 2 balconies and a view of the beautiful park with a fountain. This suite is perfect for honeymoons.

The extravagant room of Jan Werich on the other hand has a lot to offer especially for men. It is decorated in a knightly style and the black-and-white bathroom is truly a jewel of design.
