Phaidon Press is delighted to announce MY NAME IS CHARLES SAATCHI AND I AM AN ARTOHOLIC to be published in September 2009. Though Saatchi - famously - refuses to be interviewed, in this new book you will be able to read his brutally frank responses to a battery of questions put to him by leading journalists and critics, as well as members of the public.

New light will be shone on the life and mind of one of the moving forces of the modern age. Often provocative and surprising, most of the questions and their answers will be published for the first time. Leading international advertisers, artists, dealers, media, galleries, directors and politicians as well as musicians, film makers and coffee are all discussed; everything you need to know about art, ads, life, god and other mysteries - and weren't afraid to ask. Questions include:

What is the most honest thing you can say about yourself?
How do you rate political advertising today?
Do you think you have messed up anyone's life by flogging off all of their work?

Whether related to the art world, his career in advertising or his personal life, Saatchi's unflinching responses have enabled Phaidon to create an extraordinary first-hand account of the founder of the global advertising agency Saatchi & Saatchi, and one of the most influential art collectors of our time.
