LONDON, Sept. 7 - RIA Novosti, Elena Pakhomov. The desire of British contemporary art collector Charles Saatchi to donate his world-famous London gallery of the nation can not be realized, after negotiations with the British Council for the Arts at an impasse, reports BBC.

When, in July this year, Saatchi has announced that he intends to convey Saatchi Gallery with works of art for £ 25 million to the State Culture Minister Jeremy Hunt called it a "gesture of incredible generosity."

In addition, many do not agree with the idea of the collector to make the gallery is another museum of modern art in London - in fact a copy of the gallery Tate Modern.

From the official declined to comment without accepting also the information that the Saatchi began to negotiate the transfer of collections from a number of other organizations who do not receive state support.

Saatchi is known as an active promoter of young British artists, and that he was at one time initiated the establishment of Young British artists, including Tracey Emin and Damien Hirst - the latter is now the most expensive contemporary artist.

Saatchi Gallery opened in 1985 in the north-west London, and in 2008 moved into a building in the Chelsea district, where he is still an area of 6,500 square meters.

67-year-old Saatchi intends to send 200 British works of art and make a gallery of London Museum of Modern Art with one of the strongest permanent collections in the world. The museum will remain free.
