INTERVIEW – Stephen McCoubrey, co-curator USB art collection – Asia Pacific
With an extraordinary collection of paintings, photographs, drawings, sculptures and video by some of the world’s major artists from 1960 onwards, UBS is recognized as having one of the most important corporate collections of contemporary art in the world. Stephen McCoubrey has been co-curator of that collection since 1999 and is currently responsible for the art collection in Asia Pacific, Europe (ex Switzerland), Middle East and Africa regions. McCoubrey caught up with Anna Dickie to talk over how a graduate of Goldsmiths came to work for one of the biggest banks and what drives and currently motivates the UBS Art Collection.
