This catalogue was published for the inaugural START art fair, held at the Saatchi Gallery in London in June 2014. It offers information on over forty exhibiting galleries and their artists, as well as twenty artists appearing in Eye Zone, an exhibition held within the fair. START is a focused art fair, limited to young galleries showing new artists from around the world, in well proportioned museum standard exhibition spaces rather than standard art fair booths. The aim of START is to provide young galleries with a high-profile platform to showcase their artists work at an important stage in their careers development, bringing them to the attention of a culturally engaged, international audience in a world - renowned location.

Over a decade after Sensation and the advent of the YBAs, a new generation of artists has arrived, whose work collectively reveals an arresting insight into the future of contemporary art in Britain. In Orwell's novel "Nineteen Eighty- Four", Newspeak is the only language in the world whose vocabulary gets smaller every year. This book turns that Orwellian vision on its head, showing that the range of visual languages being exploited and invented by these artists is in fact expanding and multiplying. Through sculpture, painting, photography and installation, they explore such issues as class, consumerism and the phenomenon of instant success culture, often with a distinctly British dry wit. More than sixty artists are included in "Newspeak: British Art Now". One will be selected by the BBC2 television series "School of Saatchi", in which six young artists, under the tutelage of some of the most influential names in the art world today, will attend a specially created art school over a period of three months. Charles Saatchi and a panel of experts will then chose one of the six and include their work in this "Newspeak: British Art Now" and the accompanying exhibition, which opens at the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia in October 2009, and then travels to at the Saatchi Gallery, London in June 2010. The book will be published in two editions Russian and English and has been designed by acclaimed British graphic designer and typographer Jonathan Barnbrook.

Indian art has gone through a boom period in parallel with the extraordinary economic rise of the subcontinent from an agrarian state to a high tech axis of the new global economy. With new money came a new gallery system. With bigger spaces came bigger art and the sheer scale of ambition led to a break into the international market, which is always keen to find a new spectacular presence in the art world. The new art has also been created against a background of communal tension and violence. The exploration of identity, a common enterprise for artists internationally, is all the more challenging in the context of India under transformation. Above all Indian artists are faced with the legacy of their history and the ghosts of the Raj. This work features an introduction by Zehra Jumabhoy.

This huge book of nearly 700 pages long is the largest on contemporary sculpture yet to appear. It is itself an object. The sequence creates an artistic vision of the future with reference to H.G. Wells and Stanley Kubrick's masterpiece, the film "2001". The objects presented are derived from every conceivable material and vary from abstract arrangements to re-configurations of everyday forms in magnificent transformations of the mundane, such as giant electric sockets, to the recurring theme of the human body. It includes an introduction by Meghan Dailey.

A radical new generation of American abstract painters has emerged at the start of the new century. Whereas their twentieth-century predecessors advanced the realm of abstraction with all the audacity and ambition of the postwar years, this new generation is caught at the very moment of transition from the analogue to the digital age. America has shifted beyond anyone's wildest preconceptions from immediately before 9/11 to the present. Events are mediated in new ways - television offers a parallel reality, the news is a branch of entertainment and the Internet provides an infinite alternative. The weather is unpredictable. In these shifting times artists reach for different materials and uncover surprising sources. The artists' alter ego might well be the DJ. The brushstroke has been replaced by the 'riff'. This is the age of 'remix'. 'Old School' palettes have been discarded for 'Teletubby purple' or 'gummy pink'. Raw material is downloaded. Photoshop is the tool. These knowing abstract practitioners have irony at their disposal and can switch to tie-dye aesthetics or psychedelia as fast as they can quote Malevich or Brice Marden. The daring of this next wave is thrilling. Painted loops, reminiscent of Pollock in full action, are revealed to be the skid marks of motorbikes across hundreds of boards set out on the floor of a massive industrial space, so bringing new meaning to the idea of abstract expressionism. Even though traditions are 'deconstructed' and paintings can echo grunge, there is room for historical references to war, brutality and the dripping of blood, which lie at the climax of the book's narrative. As Max Henry writes in his introduction, 'The American Dream of the twentieth century does not exist any more. It is in itself an abstraction. The modernist grid has been given a working-over.' Abstract America is a further title in the series Jonathan Cape is publishing in conjunction with the exhibition programme of the new Saatchi Gallery in London.

The very title Germania suggests an empire of ruin, a dream of Albert Speer, or the land of some barbaric tribe, suitable for taming. It carries an historical echo. The postwar generation of German artists who had lived through the nation's recovery from defeat - Anselm Kiefer, George Baselitz and Martin Kippenberger - have now given way to a generation who have experienced the consequences of the reunification of 1989. The capital of Germania is Berlin, but its frontiers extend to Leipzig and Dresden, former cities of the East. Germany exists within the European Union, but Germania stretches past political frontiers. The reinvention of history is one of the characteristics of the new art and the new generation. The happenings of the past can be re-enacted. The ghosts of Brecht or Dada can be reinvigorated. But the medium of the Internet provides a different platform to that afforded by artistic predecessors. 'The new generation of Germania', writes Max Henry in his introduction, 'can discard the chronology of their influences. They can incorporate sound and music, self-publish their theoretical literature, display archival ephemera, curate and collaborate, and ultimately seize all available means to propagate their view.' Such opportunities have stimulated the emergence of the most vibrant artistic language. Film, theatre, television, collage and kitsch provide the raw influences, but at the centre of Germania lies a core of expressionist painting, embodied in the dense surfaces of Andre Butzer. Out of this seeming chaos Germania leaves anarchic traces. These are the signs of life embedded at the heart of this stark empire. Germania is a further title in the series Jonathan Cape is publishing in conjunction with the exhibition programme of the new Saatchi Gallery in London.

As world attention focuses on the economic development and massive cultural upheavals of China, all of which are embodied in the transformation of Beijing prior to the 2008 Olympics, Chinese artists have emerged after years of containment by the strictures of the national ideology. The Western art world, hungry for new spectacle, has consumed the new art with an appetite, but the art is changing so fast the Western viewer has little means of assessing or understanding the background to these extraordinary developments. "The Revolution Continues" provides a link between the rebellious spirit of the current generation of Chinese artists and the mood of rebellion that was so explicitly evident during the years of the Cultural Revolution that ran from 1966 to the death of Mao and the fall of the Gang of Four in 1976.In his text Jiang Jiehong argues that the widespread destruction of traditional Chinese treasures by the Red Guards, especially in the early period of 1966, overshadows the entire period. Today's rebellious artistic spirit is, in fact, an extension of Mao's legacy. The extensive Saatchi collection of new Chinese art is presented in conjunction with Joshua Jiang's examination of the use of the colour red, the iconography of Mao, the sense of the collective and the use of textual language that derives from the calligraphy of the propaganda poster. This dramatic material will be published to coincide with one of the opening exhibitions at the new Saatchi Gallery.
