Abstract

The activities of German art collector Julia Stoschek have stirred up the media and art scene this summer. This is both because of an article in The New York Times, which extensively described the involvement of the collector's great-grandfather's company in World War II on the side of the NSDAP; and because of the major exhibition WORLDBUILDING: Gaming and Art in the Digital Age, which opened in Düsseldorf in June and celebrates the fifteenth anniversary of the opening of the exhibition space presenting the Julia Stoschek Collection.
