	In this episode of ‘Meet the collectors’, German collector Julia Stoschek leads us on a tour of the Dusseldorf and Berlin spaces hosting her vast collection. The automotive heiress’s passion for time and media-based art began in the early aughts when she encountered&nbsp;
	<a href="https://artbasel.com/catalog/artist/8513/Douglas-Gordon">Douglas Gordon</a>’s <em>Play Dead; Real Time (this way, that way, the other way) </em>(2003) at&nbsp;<a href="https://artbasel.com/catalog/gallery/1123/Gagosian">Gagosian</a>, New York. Since then, she’s gathered an ever-growing trove of over 900 works by more than 300 artists. With works dating back to the 1960s, it includes the likes of&nbsp;<a href="https://artbasel.com/catalog/artist/9375/Nam-June-Paik">Nam June Paik</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://artbasel.com/catalog/artist/11814/Pipilotti-Rist">Pipilotti Rist</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://artbasel.com/catalog/artist/7471/Mark-Leckey">Mark Leckey</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://artbasel.com/catalog/artist/13610/Keren-Cytter">Keren Cytter</a>, and&nbsp;<a href="https://artbasel.com/stories/wu-tsang-how-i-became-an-artist-art-basel">Wu Tsang</a>. ‘I don’t have an art advisor and I don’t have an advising gallery,’ she reveals in this video, ‘what I love most is advice from other artists.’ ‘I’m absolutely driven by contemporaneity,’ she continues, when considering her strategy. ‘What I try to do with the collection is create an image of the social and cultural conditions of my generation.’
