Zablow

Hunt, I'm always on the hunt for a new gallery, a space to enlighten my Saturday afternoon, to ease the hangover and enrich the mind. I'd been meaning to check out the Zabludowicz collection for quite some and the other week it definitely became that space.

The gallery was started from the Zabludowicz's private collection and is the super rich couples philanthropic attempt, quite a vain form of philanthropy but one I wholeheartedly enjoy.

Similarly to the the Saatchi gallery not all of the art is to my taste but there's always something eye opening and curious.

The couple have been named one of arts Power 100 and have collected Tracy Emin's works since way before she was cool. Mates like that have allowed them to call in some pretty good favours. The exhibition is transatlantic with a sister exhibition in the New York Gallery and a semi secret Emin work just round the corner.

Well worth a visit
