“Oceana is very grateful to be a part of this opportunity, and it is beautiful to see that fifty years after his death, Yves Klein is now giving back to the oceans through his work. It’s a chance to remember that just as art serves as one of the great unifiers of our world, the ocean also unites people from across cultures, nationalities and even across history. Now the oceans are in trouble. People everywhere are stepping up to restore and protect them. This partnership with Christie’s is a perfect example of the kind of creative thinking that helps produce the policy changes that will save the oceans. Thank you! Your support will help Oceana win victories in places where the oceans most need them.”- Oceana CEO, Andy Sharpless
