Selfie exhibition at Saatchi Gallery, London, to start 31 March

David Cameron, Barack Obama, Angela Merkel, Francois Hollande and John Kerry have all posed for selfies. Even Vladimir Putin has taken a selfie surrounded by a group of youngsters as one of them captured the moment for posterity on his smartphone.
An exhibition 'From Selfie To Self-Expression' will open at the Saatchi Gallery in London on 31 March - the competition has already begun and runs until 19 March. It will show selfies as an art form.
This has been reported in news.sky.com dated 23 January 2017.

The exhibition will showcase self-portraits from long before mobile phones were thought of, such as those of Van Gogh, Rembrandt and Velazquez. Modern day selfies include those taken by former British PM David Cameron, former US President Barack Obama and British actor Benedict Cumberbatch's 'photobomb' at the Academy Awards.
A team of ten young British photographers will be commissioned to contribute and a #SaatchiSelfie competition will give people worldwide the opportunity to get involved too. The exhibition will provide an insight into the history and creative potential of the selfie.
