INITIAL ACCESS, Wolverhampton

Frank Cohen is the founder of Glyn Webb Home Improvement Stores and one of the most famous art collectors in the world.

A great patron of Modern British art since the 1970s, Cohen specialised in Young British Artists (YBAs) in the late 1980s, American and German art of the 1980s and 1990s, contemporary Japanese art (especially the Superflat movement) and more recently contemporary Chinese and Indian art. ARTnews magazine's list of 'The World's Top 200 Collectors' lists him annually and he is often referred to as the Charles Saatchi of the North.

Cohen opened Initial Access in January 2007, a foundation in Wolverhampton that shows the younger artists from his collection. Today Cohen has become known as one of the most influential promoters of international contemporary art in the world.
