My Name is Charles Saatchi and I am an Artoholic

One of the most influential art collectors of our time and founder of the global advertising agency, Charles Saatchi reveals his opinions on collecting, artists, dealers, advertising and investing in art with unflinching honesty. Famously reclusive, he has answered questions asked to him by journalists, critics and the general public about the art world and his personal life.
