StefanBrenske
With the founding of the BRENSKE GALLERY in Munich in 1995, Dr. Stefan Brenske has continued the work of his father, Helmut Brenske, who was one of the pioneers in the field of icons as collection items.
Dr. Brenske holds a PhD in art history. His thesis was approved by HORST BREDEKAMP, "one of the most reputated scholars in German art history" ( DER SPIEGEL) with the grade magna cum laude. Several practices during his studies in the world of art dealing e.g. SOTHEBY'S London. Following his studies in Hamburg, the first stop on his career path was the business world: after a Traineeship with the then largest bank in Munich ( HYPOVEREINSBANK), he was hired by ROLAND BERGER & PARTNER as a management consultant. His six years in top management consulting positions not only resulted in international contacts (with clients such as ANHEUSER BUSCH, DEUTSCHE BANK, DEUTSCHE BAHN, BUNDESMINISTERIUM FÜR FINANZEN, BILD), but also nurtured his desire to launch his own enterprise, one at the intersection of art and business.
As the scion of a family dedicated to the art trade, his success was immediate. A variety of publications ( Weingarten, Schnell und Steiner), television appearances ( NDR / Lieb und Teuer), positive media coverage of his activities (in WELT, HANDELSBLATT, NZZ, among other places) and various appraiserships. He is a publicly appointed and sworn icon expert (German Chambers of Commerce / IHK Munich and Upper Bavaria).
Dr. Brenske is a member of leading professional art associations, as well as networks such as ROLAND BERGER ALUMNI and ATLANTIK BRÜCKE.
While collectors of the first generation (including Helmut Kohl, Richard von Weizsäcker, Dr. Schmidt-Vogt) were frequent clients of his father, Dr. Stefan Brenske has fostered contacts with the top icon museums in Germany as well as museums around the world, several of which are now regular clients.
The Brenske Gallery exhibits at all leading art fairs in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
