Julia Stoschek was born in 1975, [1] the daughter of Michael Stoschek, the German billionaire businessman and chairman of Brose Fahrzeugteile. [2]

Stoschek first began buying art in 2003. [3] Her collection features more than 850 works by about 250, mainly European and US artists [4] working from the 1960s onwards and includes video, multi-media environments, internet-based installations and performance. [3] The Julia Stoschek Collection in a former industrial building in Düsseldorf-Oberkassel opened in 2007, and has two floors of exhibition space, over 2,500 square metres (27,000 square feet). [5] Within the first ten years from 2007 until 2017, the Julia Stoschek Collection staged 15 exhibitions, [6] [7] including solo shows of Cao Fei (2009), Derek Jarman (2010), [8] Sturtevant (2014), Wu Tsang (2015) and Cyprien Gaillard (2015).

Controversy

The source of Stoschek's family fortune came under international scrutiny in 2022. [12] Stoschek's great-grandfather Max Brose, the founder of Brose Fahrzeugteile, was a member of the Nazi Party and used slave laborers in his factory during World War II to manufacture gasoline canisters and armaments for the German military. [12] He was designated a Wehrwirtschaftsführer by the Nazi government. At the end of the war he was tried and convicted as a Mitläufer. [13]

Video art is an art form which relies on using video technology as a visual and audio medium. Video art emerged during the late 1960s as new consumer video technology such as video tape recorders became available outside corporate broadcasting. Video art can take many forms: recordings that are broadcast; installations viewed in galleries or museums; works streamed online, distributed as video tapes, or DVDs; and performances which may incorporate one or more television sets, video monitors, and projections, displaying live or recorded images and sounds.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Degenerate art</span> Pejorative term used by the Nazi Party for modern art

Degenerate art was a term adopted in the 1920s by the Nazi Party in Germany to describe modern art. During the dictatorship of Adolf Hitler, German modernist art, including many works of internationally renowned artists, was removed from state-owned museums and banned in Nazi Germany on the grounds that such art was an "insult to German feeling", un-German, Freemasonic, Jewish, or Communist in nature. Those identified as degenerate artists were subjected to sanctions that included being dismissed from teaching positions, being forbidden to exhibit or to sell their art, and in some cases being forbidden to produce art.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Degenerate Art exhibition</span> 1937 art exhibition in Nazi Germany

The Degenerate Art exhibition was an art exhibition organized by Adolf Ziegler and the Nazi Party in Munich from 19 July to 30 November 1937. The exhibition presented 650 works of art, confiscated from German museums, and was staged in counterpoint to the concurrent Great German Art Exhibition. The day before the exhibition started, Adolf Hitler delivered a speech declaring "merciless war" on cultural disintegration, attacking "chatterboxes, dilettantes and art swindlers". Degenerate art was defined as works that "insult German feeling, or destroy or confuse natural form or simply reveal an absence of adequate manual and artistic skill". One million people attended the exhibition in its first six weeks. A U.S. critic commented, "There are probably plenty of people—art lovers—in Boston, who will side with Hitler in this particular purge". This particular take is controversial, however, given the greater political context of the exhibition.
