Wisdom and Nature is a major fundraising exhibition and auction in aid of Le Ciel Foundation, held in partnership with Christie’s. The exhibition, which builds upon the success of the first edition of Wisdom and Nature, premiered at Christie’s New York in March 2020 and was auctioned online on christies.com from the 6-27th April 2021.
About the Exhibition
Generously donated by artists and galleries from around the world, Wisdom and Nature features 55 artworks by 49 artists capturing experiences and perceptions of interconnectivity, the natural beauty of the planet, and the traditions of its communities. Funds raised from the auction will support Le Ciel Foundation’s ongoing education, inclusion and preservation initiatives including the Holistic Visions Training Program and Symposium. Bringing together 144 thought leaders, creatives and subject matter experts from over 30 countries with Elders from wisdom traditions, Holistic Visions is a collaborative journey designed to bring to life holistic, interconnected solutions that support the emergence of a more conscious world.
Funds will also support the development of new educational tools and programmes for children and adults to learn from ancestral wisdom, as well as a global initiative for the restoration of sacred territories and the protection of guardian populations.
