Saatchi Yates gallery owners, Arthur Yates and Phoebe Saatchi Yates, aim to shake up London's art scene by showcasing emerging artists. They focus on "breakthrough art" from talents discovered through social media, like TikTok artist Bijijoo and Instagram's Sujin Lee. The gallery gives solo shows to artists at the start of their careers, often those overlooked by established galleries. Saatchi Yates opened a new gallery in St. James in early 2023, but they also deal in secondary-market masterpieces and avoid art fairs to promote artists in more impactful ways. Guided by Phoebe's father, Charles Saatchi, the gallery launched the Fellowship Prize to discover and support innovative artists with bold and unique work. The prize winner will receive a solo exhibition and tailored mentorship by Saatchi Yates.
