The first Art Basel and UBS Global Art Market Report will be published in March 2017, to coincide with Art Basel in Hong Kong.
UBS said that the annual report will cover key macro-economic art trends and offer fundamental data on the art market.
The report will also assess specific areas of interest and new business developments for collectors and professionals.
The Swiss bank has been supporting Art Basel since 1994, and expanded its partnership to include Art Basel in Miami Beach in 2002 and Art Basel in Hong Kong in 2014.
