UBS has been collecting contemporary art since the 1960s, a practice driven by the company's long-held belief that the art of today encourages the innovative thinking that has shaped UBS's corporate culture over the last half century.

The UBS Art Collection currently consists of more than 30,000 works, including paintings, works on paper, photography, sculpture, video and installations by artists from around the world and is widely recognized as one of the most important corporate art collections.

The artworks are displayed in UBS offices globally and in the UBS Art Gallery in New York, serving as an inspiration for employees and a platform for dialogue with clients and the public. UBS takes a dynamic approach to the Collection, continuing to acquire and commission artworks from around the world supporting the communities in the regions where UBS operates. UBS also actively lends works to major art museums and cultural institutions for public exhibitions.
