Maggie Weng

CEO, Fubon Art Foundation

 

Maggie Weng, one of Asia’s top collectors, is also a staunch advocate for building a museum without walls

As the CEO of Fubon Art Foundation, Maggie Weng actively cultivates a museum-like corporate space with the goal of establishing an art museum that comes from the streets and city corners. The foundation was formed in 1997 with the goal of making art more accessible to the wider public through educational initiatives and cultural events.

Notable activities include The Very Fun Park, an annual exhibit that brings local and international art to public and commercial spaces around the city, covering pedestrian overpasses, green parks, shopping mall corridors, even construction sites. Her concept of the “wall-less” art museum has continued for several years, becoming a platform for Taiwanese and international artists to interact and observe each other.

Maggie Weng has never sold any of the artworks from her collection, which reaches up to 600 pieces that are all displayed around her home, at guest receptions, and in office areas. She buys art purely out of love and intuition, without any advice from an agent or auction specialist.

Her husband, Richard Tsai, is the president of Fubon Financial.
