Dream Gifts

2018 Collection

Our curators worked with top Saatchi Art artists to imagine three one-of-kind experiences for art collectors and jetsetters alike. We guarantee they’ll keep you dreaming through 2019.

Be a Muse for a Day in London

Famous for her stylized portraits of women adorned in the finest couture, Miss Aniela will host a private photo session for you in her UK studio. The fine art photographer will capture you in an elaborate scene that you dream up together, then deliver a one-of-a kind 30 x 40 inch photograph just a month later. It will be a once-in-a-lifetime experience—and you’ll have the picture to remember it forever.

$150,000

Team Up with a Daredevil Photographer in Malibu

Best known for his large-scale aerial images, fine art photographer Jin-Woo Prensena will take you and a guest on a private helicopter tour along the Malibu coast. During the 120-minute flight—piloted by Aaron Fitzgerald, owner of Airborne Images and a member of the Red Bull Air Race Team—you will find the perfect view for Prensena to capture. Afterwards, you will choose a limited edition photograph for Prensena to print, sign, and frame—providing you with an unforgettable memory of this unique experience.

$65,000

Make Your Garden Monumental

This captivating sculpture will immediately transform any property. Berlin-based artist Thomas Otto created the majestic work for the Metallic Giants outdoor exhibition at Castle Clemenswerth in Germany. Its geometric form will reveal itself in shifting lights and seasons, and make a modern and memorable addition to any garden setting.

Our logistics team coordinated everything from packaging to installation.

Maureen O’Brien’s first purchase with Saatchi Art was ‘Fibonacci’s Awakening’, a sculpture by American artist Jo Moore. The sculpture weighed 600 lbs which meant that transporting it across the US, from the artist’s studio in New Mexico to its new home in Virginia, was a complicated process. But with the right packaging and careful handling during the whole process the sculpture arrived safely after its 3-day cross-country journey.

"Saatchi Art was the first website I found where I could find art that I absolutely love. We have a beautiful home in Virginia so it was important to my family to find art that suited our home and we couldn’t be happier!"

Escape

dog

The desire to escape the sensory overload of urban living can be realized through the artworks you purchase. We’ve seen a trend towards artworks that evoke a sense of solitude and calm whether through photographs that capture the isolation of the wilderness or paintings that bring to life the quiet respite of remote landscapes.

Portraits Revisited

Contemporary artists are reinventing the traditional portrait in favor of something more cutting-edge. New questions around identity are raised in compelling portraits that obscure the sitter’s face.

"Although we always encourage collectors to buy what you love, tracking the progression of trends helps sense the directions of the art market and discover new artists."

– Rebecca Wilson, Chief Curator and VP, Art Advisory at Saatchi Art

Inspired by Old Masters
