The art collector Charles Saatchi was in a generous mood on Wednesday when he bought almost all the works by three young students from their final graduation exhibit at the Royal Academy Schools in London, The Times of London reported. The student artists are Carla Busuttil, 26; Angus Sanders-Dunnachie, 28; and Jill Mason, 33.

Mr. Saatchi’s early purchases helped begin the careers of now-famous artists including Damien Hirst, Tracy Emin, Natasha Kissell and Jake and Dinos Chapman.
