'The Art of One’s Own Era'
'The Art of One’s Own Era'
April 21 – September 6, 2021
As the UBS Art Gallery remains temporarily closed to the public, we are pleased to introduce the virtual exhibition 'The Art of One’s Own Era'.
The exhibition is presented within a virtually recreated UBS Art Gallery and includes core works from the former PaineWebber collection, which were integrated throughout the firm’s history of mergers and acquisitions and became an important part of today’s UBS Art Collection.
UBS has been collecting contemporary art since the 1960s, a practice driven by the firm’s long held belief that the art of today encourages innovative thinking. In recent years, the UBS Art Collection has acquired and commissioned works by diverse artists that have historically been overlooked to better reflect our society.
