The exhibition series and the Kunsthalle Rostock get a new director

In 1985, Klaus Tiedemann took over the direction of the Kunsthalle Rostock, as the previous director, Dr. Horst Zimmermann, returned to the Galerie Neue Meister in Dresden. For the first time, no works were acquired for the Kunsthalle's collection from the 11th Biennale of the Baltic Sea Countries. All countries limited their selection to a few artists in favor of the possibility of exhibiting more works by each participant. The works of Otto Niemeyer-Holstein, who had died the previous year, formed the centerpiece of the GDR's 1985 collection. The Soviet Union's selection presented artists from Tallinn. The motto of the exhibition remained Kunst im Frieden für den Frieden ("Art in Peace for Peace"), just like the year before, and did not change until 1989. The catalog changed into a narrow A4 booklet.
