May 2006 sees the official launch of the partnership announced last September between Tate Modern and UBS.
The partnership will enable Tate Modern to rehang its permanent collection for the first time since it opened in 2000. In addition, Tate Modern curators are to be given access to works from The UBS Art Collection for a special series of featured displays that will complement and strengthen the gallery’s own permanent collection. UBS is also supporting a series of special events, as well as an ongoing education and interpretation programme.
The three year partnership was announced on September 29th, 2005 and promises to take art to a wider audience, including UBS employees, its clients, and the communities in which it does business.
UBS has had a relationship with Tate Modern since the gallery opened in 2000, but the partnership is een as marking a significant development in UBS’s support for Tate Modern.
When the partnership was announced, Nicholas Serota, director of Tate Modern, said: “This new collaboration with UBS is unlike any ordinary sponsorship but represents a really exciting partnership, which will enable us to focus on the collection in new and different ways and reach out to new audiences.”
Tate becomes one of several leading public and private art institutions around the globe with which UBS has forged a long-term alliance. Other galleries enjoying similar support include the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Fondation Beyeler in Basel.
