At the forefront of creative thinking

At UBS, we have a rich history of supporting cultural endeavors across the world, bringing together ideas, inspiration and opinion to enrich lives. Having collected contemporary art for over 60 years, it has become a part of our DNA. In May 2019, we made steps to share our collection even more broadly with the public, launching the new UBS Art Gallery in our New York headquarters, as a permanent space featuring works of art from our collection of more than 30,000 works and special rotating exhibitions.

We share our passion for art and collecting with a large community of clients globally and provide insight into the art market, collecting and legacy planning through our Art Collectors Circle, UBS Art Advisory and our art market research.

Contemporary art can spark conversations and advocate for change. We are committed to presenting artists who use their voice to address critical global issues, with a particular focus in 2019 on engaging artists as ambassadors for our #TOGETHERBAND campaign to increase awareness of the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). At Art Basel in Miami Beach in December, works by Shinique Smith made from recycled clothing, fabrics and found objects were featured in the UBS Art Studio and the UBS Lounge to highlight SDG 12: Responsible consumption and production.
