Tonight at 8, Christie’s will be holding a special auction in New York to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Earth Day. Proceeds from the first-ever “Christie’s Green Auction: A Bid to Save the Earth” will benefit Conservation International, Oceana, Natural Resources Defense Council, and the Central Park Conservatory.
The event will feature a two-part photography auction, to which a number of Stockland Martel photographers have contributed prints: Timothy White, John Midgley, Nino Muñoz, Liz Von Hoene, Michael Muller, Roxanne Lowit, Kwaku Alston, and Matthew Rolston.
