All the couture excitement has got me thinking about art, and namely emerging artists and branding.
The Saatchi Gallery is a prominent British space aimed at selling young, contemporary artists (you may know Charles Saatchi as the man who introduced the world to Damien Hirst) . The gallery’s online offering is quickly becoming the most popular [...]
