Career

Julia Stoschek Collection in Düsseldorf (2018)

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).[9]

In 2016, the Julia Stoschek Collection opened a satellite exhibition space in a former Czech cultural center in Berlin.[3] The space has in the past shown solo shows by artists including Arthur Jafa (2018).[10]

The Julia Stoschek Collection co-sponsored two exhibitions in the German Pavilion at the Venice Biennale: Fabrik (2015) curated by Florian Ebner and Faust (2017) by Anne Imhof.[11]

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]
