Tate Modern Collection

The UBS Art Collection is widely regarded as one of the most important corporate collections of contemporary art in the world. Its paintings, photographs, drawings and sculptures represent the defining trends in European and American contemporary art. Through its partnerships with leading organisations including Tate Modern, MoMA in New York and Fondation Beyeler in Basel, UBS ensures The UBS Art Collection is shared with the public and enjoyed around the world.

UBS’s relationship with Tate goes back to the launch of Tate Modern in 2000, for which it was a Founding Corporate Partner. UBS has since sponsored a number of major contemporary exhibitions, including Warhol (Tate Modern, 2002); Lucien Freud (Tate Britain, 2002) and Cruel & Tender (Tate Modern, 2003).

Vicente Todoli, Director of Tate Modern said:
“Tate is very pleased to launch this three year partnership with UBS. Through UBS's support, we are able to rethink the presentation of our Collection, include an annual six month display of works from the UBS Art Collection, launch a live performance programme for the gallery and enable families further access to the Collection via enhanced educational facilities. We look forward to working creatively together over the next three years.”

Jeremy Palmer, Member of the Group Managing Board, UBS:
“We are excited to be taking our relationship with Tate to a new level of engagement. This partnership is enabling Tate Modern and UBS to open up art to wider and more diverse audiences than ever before. The next three years promise to bring a dynamic and inspiring programme of activity that will invite everyone to share in the vibrant world of contemporary art. We are also pleased that together with Tate Modern we are able to share with the public works from The UBS Art Collection, an element of the firm’s heritage of which we are particularly proud.”
