AFTER last year’s critical mauling of the County Hall gallery and the fire of Momart, SAATCHI’S stock has certainlyfallen since the days when he championed the Young British Artists, but you can’t count him out: his two Triumph of Painting exhibitions at County Hall showed a new direction, and his break with the YBAs - he is believed to have sold £16m worth of Hirsts -was impeccably timed. He continues to be a key figure for British arts. And he’s married to a domestic goddess, of course.
