Rosy Wilde

The gallery was not making money and Vine was expecting bailiffs, when one of her paintings of Diana, Princess of Wales, was bought by art collector Charles Saatchi to star in his New Blood show.

[8] Islington London Borough Council gave Rosy Wilde an additional month's grace to pay the outstanding debts after they had heard of the Saatchi's purchase.

[11] Vine was "bombarded" with phone calls from galleries wanting to show her work and from art collectors seeking to cash in on the "Saatchi effect";[11] within a week she had sold six paintings.

[7] Journalist Catherine Deveney found it "fascinating, like being placed slap bang in the middle of a person’s entire life"[7] with the walls whitewashed and employed as an improvised diary—"Tuesday 4pm" written in black above the bed—[7] large pink cushions on the big bed, boxes, papers, suitcases and propped-up canvases on the floor, a loaded clothes rail, and art materials on a table.

[7] The Times journalist, Andrew Billen, visited Vine in June 2004, and said the gallery was a clue that "Saatchi's Midas touch has not turned Stella's life to gold", describing the empty space and collapsed stairs as "emotional chaos".

[2] In 2006, Vine re-opened the Rosy Wilde gallery, this time on the floor above the first Ann Summers sex shop,[16] in Wardour Street, Soho.

[17] Other artists to exhibit were Annabel Dover, Cathy Lomax and Michael Crowe whilst show titles included Force Fed Brown Bread, Lux, Give Me Your Blacklisted and Vignettes.
