Poor old Saatchi. All that money and time spent big uping the YBAs, and then a fire has gone and destroyed all that important conceptual art. On a personal level, I would have loved to see some the Chapman bros stuff, and Tracey Emin's tent, but now I never will. I think its a great shame. Poor Saatchi. He doesn't have much luck with his YBA investments. I think that Marc Quinn's sculpture of his head in his own blood also went down the tubes. Quinn froze his blood in a cast and then it was put in a freezer before it went on display, apart from the cleaner unplugged the freezer and the sculpture melted. Apparently Saatchi was pretty decent about it, but to lose all this as well - dear oh dear.
