Author Biography

Mary Rozell is the Global Head of the UBS Art Collection. She is the author of The Art Collector’s Handbook: The Definitive Guide to Acquiring and Owning Art (Lund Humphries, 2020), considered the “Bible” of art collecting, and has been an advisor to collectors, artists, and estates on strategic and legal issues relating to the acquisition, management, and deaccessioning of private art collections.

The UBS Art Collection consists of more than 30,000 works, including paintings, works on paper, photography, sculpture, video, and installations by artists from around the world and is widely recognized as one of the most important corporate art collections. UBS has been collecting contemporary art since the 1960s, a practice driven by the company’s long-held belief that the art of today encourages the innovative thinking that has shaped UBS’s corporate culture. The Collection’s mission is to build and maintain a seminal body of work by artists of our time.
