Win Schubert

In 2012, QAGOMA named its Australian collection galleries the Josephine Ulrick and Win Schubert Galleries in honour of Schubert's benefaction.^[5] Ulrick was a close friend of Schubert's and was curator and co-director at Art Galleries Schubert until her death in 1997.^[6]

In 2014, Schubert was named a Queensland Great.^[7] She was also made an Officer of the Order of Australia in the 2014 Queen's Birthday Honours in recognition of her service to the community as a supporter and benefactor of Australian artists and art galleries.^[8]

In 2020, the Schubert Circle was established at QAGOMA to recognise other individuals who have made provisions for QAGOMA to be in their Will.^[5]

Schubert died on 6 April 2017 at the age of 79.^[3]

Following her death, the daughter of her friend Agnes Tatay contested the Will.^[2] Suzzan Tatay unsuccessfully claimed that she was entitled to a portion of the estate.^[2][9]

Three years after Schubert's death, QAGOMA received a $35 million bequest from her estate, which was the biggest single cash gift in the 125-year history of the Gallery.^[10][11]
