About the Exhibition TOP PAGE

Warhol, Lichtenstein, Basquiat, Richter, Gursky, Araki, Morimura, Sugimoto, Miyamoto, Hatakeyama… Featuring around 140 works by 60 prominent international artists from The UBS Art Collection, the Exhibition represents a new partnership between an art museum and a corporate collection, as well as a new perspective on the theme of
“Art and Life.”

A world-class collection of contemporary art assembled by UBS, a global financial services firm, focuses on American and European paintings since the 1950s and European photographs since the 1990s. In recent years, the Collection has expanded into a more global one by incorporating works from Asia and Latin America. Selected works from the 1,000 plus collection has been divided into three sections, “Body,”
“Built World” and “Space,” exploring the connections between artists’ ideas and the world.
