Art historian Wolfgang Holler will remain President of the Saxon Academy of Arts for a further three years. The former director of the Dresden Kupferstich-Kabinett and general director of the Klassik Stiftung Weimar was re-elected at the weekend, as the Academy announced in Dresden on Monday. Holler continues to see its central task in open dialogue, which is characterized by critical reason, differentiating discourse and understanding on the basis of ideology-free thinking and mutual respect. The academy needs a significant improvement in its staffing and financial resources in order to fulfill its legal mandate, he appealed.
The academy was founded in 1996 to promote art, make suggestions for its promotion and cultivate the traditions of the traditional Saxon cultural area. It currently has 170 members.
