Saatchi's success

A shark has come to frighten the fish in the County Hall aquarium. The arrival of the Charles Saatchi treasurehouse of contemporary British art, with its unrivalled collection of Damien Hirst artefacts, is welcome.

Not only does it bring together works which the Tate has had neither the money nor the nerve to collect, but it does so in surroundings which are a museum-piece in themselves - the renovated Edwardian baroque grandeur of the old GLC council offices.

Whether the result is art or eye-catching artifice, the Saatchi Gallery will become one of London's prime attractions.
