London — Saatchi Gallery has extended its critically acclaimed exhibition The Long Now, celebrating 40 years of contemporary art, until 26 April 2026 following strong public and critical response. The exhibition is supported by De Beers London.
Spanning two floors, The Long Now features newly commissioned works alongside historic pieces by leading contemporary artists, including Richard Wilson’s iconic installation 20:50, first presented in 1987 and regarded as a landmark of British contemporary art.
