Some photos from our induction trip to the Saatchi Gallery, just some of the work I found most interesting:
YUKEN TERUYA:
in this piece he cuts these ridiculously intricate trees out of carrier bags ranging from the cheap (McDonalds) to the indulgently expensive (Le Bon Marche)

20:50- Richard Wilson:
When I first walked into this room I spent a good few minutes blankly staring at an attempt to find some semblance of artwork. As I stood on the balcony overlooking what I thought was sheer drop below it dawned on me. The whole room was this illusion created the whole room being flooded by only a few cm’s of used sump oil.
“Viewed from the entrance platform 20:50 appears as a holographic field: simultaneously a polished floor, infinite clear pool, an expansive and indefinable virtual space that clinically absorbs and mirrors the gallery architecture.”- http://www.saatchigallery.com/artists/richard_wilson.htm
“Body Swallows Word”- Aurel Schmidt
This looks like it was painstakingly achieved, drawing those branches would have drove me insane:
