The works from the UBS Art Collection will be presented at the UBS Lounge as well as online in an expanded virtual exhibition.
- UBS Art Studio is dedicated to showcasing how art can tangibly contribute to building a better world, featuring art projects from Olafur Eliasson’s Little Sun and BOTTLETOP.

Christl Novakovic, CEO UBS Europe SE and Head Wealth Management Europe and Chair of the UBS Art Board says: “It is exciting to see the return of Art Basel. At UBS, we see artists as spokespeople of our time. They play a crucial role in provoking conversations and challenging the status quo.
