完形填空

If you are a modern art lover, you should be sure to drop by the Saatchi Gallery during your visit to London. The original gallery was    by Charles Saatchi, a British art collector    for founding the Saatchi and Saatchi advertising agency with his brother. It moved from its old    in St. John’s Wood to its new home in County Hall near the Thames in the spring of 2003.

Anyone who has heard    in the past of the often shocking but always inspiring works on    at the Saatchi Gallery will not be    when visiting the gallery’s new location. Along with the    of new British artists, the gallery still    the works of Damien Hirst, the Chapman brothers, and Tracy Emin in its permanent    .

Of the artworks, one can see in the Saatchi Gallery, Hirst’s works are probably the most    . Hirst’s work first made headlines in the early 1990s when he    art from dead animals.

Along with Hirst, the Chapman brothers, Dinos and Jake, also    a certain amount of their fame to the Saatchi Gallery. It was through Saatchi    these two brothers came to public attention. At the gallery, visitors can see the brothers’vision of Hell, made from 30, 000 plastic toy soldiers.

Another artist featured at the gallery who has grabbed    with her art is Tracy Emin. In 1998, Emin gave    to argument when she sold her messy, unmade bed to Saatchi as a work of art    My Bed at ￡150, 000.

    Are any of these works really art? That is a question you will have to answer for    when you visit the Saatchi Gallery. Charles Saatchi himself says, “I don’t have any ground rules for    art. Sometimes you look and don’t feel very    with it—but that doesn’t tell you very much. It doesn’t    reveal much about the quality of the work.”
