Yoko Ono donates to charity auction


12 05 2015

Yoko Ono, Julian Lennon and Quentin Blake are among artists who've donated their work to be auctioned off on June 9 in aid of Elephant Haven, which aims to raise £350k to establish an elephant sanctuary in Europe.

The auction is intended to be accessible, with some reserve prices starting at £100 alongside big ticket works, including original photograph prints of Kate Moss from 1990 by Kate Garner. Lennon commented 'I'm interested to see how human consciousness will evolve when freedom and respect for other animals is achieved. Sanctuaries for refugee elephants such as Elephant Haven are the brick and mortar for what is a fundamental rights issue'.
