Review of Saatchi Gallery

The gallery is obviously one of the best in London...

The gallery is obviously one of the best in London. Great place, lots of quality lightning, friendly staff. But there is one problem (December 2012): the current exposition is a load of crap!
Tagline is "outstanding features of the Soviet Union". But what you really see is a bunch of photos of homeless people posing naked (real ugly stuff) and another room is filled with closeups of prison inmates, demonstrating their ink. If this is the best that the curator could assemble for an appropriate representation of current contemporary Russian art - I feel sorry for him.
