launched an online daily magazine for the gallery's expanding website.
In 2007 she created New Sensations, a prize for art students which
identifies and supports the most exciting emerging artists. The prize
is run in the UK with Channel 4 and will be launch in North America in
2011. As well as working on Saatchi Online, she is Associate Director
of the Saatchi Gallery in London. Prior to joining The Saatchi
Gallery, Rebecca was editor of ArtReview, and before that deputy

Some really intersting works Rebecca…although on the careful side perhaps. By this I mean that you seem to like works that are not “in your face” or direct statements.
And love the Puetz razor piece which was also “art of the day” on the saatchi online facebook page.
So..a direct question (I know you read these comments) :
Who pics the art of the day/week here and on the facebook pages…there have been dozen of request to find out who the pickers are..but no answers from you all at saatchi…how about it? Full disclosure…or the usual “no comment” ?
Cheers from Norway,
andrew
Good question Andrew. The thing is some days I want to know who picks and then others I don’t. From some of the comments the “pick of the day” gets I wouldn’t want to be the one responsible to pick. Perhaps it’s a collective in the Saatchi Office in LA that does the picking….
Ok..I just saw the chainsaw piece..kinda “in your face” that one
