9. Biennale der Ostseeländer, Norwegens und Islands

Coins and medals at the Biennale der Ostseeländer

For Peace and Progress was the motto of the 1981 exhibition. The invitation to the ninth Biennale asked for the submission of medals. A special exhibition of medals from the Dresden State Art Collection Coin Cabinet was flanked by medals from Poland and works by the Finn Raimo Heino. In addition to this special exhibition area, the GDR selection concentrated on watercolours and sculpture. In May 1981, HAP Grieshaber, a graphic artist and long-time member of the Committee of the Federal Republic of Germany, died. He was commemorated in the exhibition with a selection of his poster designs.

A portfolio of 15 prints by the group of the Künstlerhaus Stockholm for the 10th anniversary of its founding was the only addition to the collection of the Kunsthalle Rostock. This example of an artists' collective refers to a tradition of group formation that is widespread in the Nordic countries. In them, artists temporarily join together to form working and exhibition communities.
