Robert McHarg III, a London based artist and gallery owner, created a life size wax sculpture of Charles Saatchi. Saatchi, the influential and legendary British art collector, has been dressed up in various outfits (i.e. as a cowboy, with a gas mask, in Mickey Mouse ears) by the artist and then photographed. Featuring HIM in his Subway Gallery, McHarg says, “It’s the biggest action figure I’ll ever own, it’s all about the artist collecting the collector, a David and Goliath battle over power and punch lines.” The images have been complied into a book released October 2007 by Trolley Books.
