''Go West'' is the title of the first exhibition by Stuckist artists in a commercial London West End gallery. It was staged in Spectrum London gallery in October 2006. The show attracted media interest for its location, for the use of a painting satirising Sir Nicholas Serota, Director of the Tate gallery, and for two paintings of a stripper by Charles Thomson based on his former wife, artist Stella Vine. == Show == The Stuckists had previously been seen as art world outsiders, but with the backing of a West End gallery in a "major exhibition"〔Barnes, Anthony (2006) ("Portrait of an ex-husband's revenge" ) ''The Independent on Sunday''. Retrieved 9 October 2006, from findarticles.com〕 became "major players" in the art world.〔Teodorczuk, Tom (2006) ("Modern art is pants" ) ''Evening Standard'', 22 August 2006.

Get past the art politics and look at the work." 〔("The first West End show for the Stuckists" ) saatchi-gallery.co.uk.
