THE CONSERVATION ART AUCTION

6 SEPTEMBER 2018, GÖTEBORG

THE PERFECT GALLERY

The Perfect World Foundation is a non-profit independent organization. The organization was founded
2010 in Gothenburg, Sweden with the aim to raise awareness and funds to support fragile and threatened
wildlife and nature areas around the world. Each year the foundation’s “The Perfect World Award” is
awarded a person who has made significant contribution to conservation of nature and wildlife. With
time the prize has become one of the most prestigious wildlife and nature conservation awards and this
year’s honouree Sir David Attenborough is probably one of the most distinct award recipient ever.
The foundation’s Perfect Gallery and Conservation Art Auction is a perfect way for the organization
to communicate awareness and raise funds. Prominent artists around the world have shown such
great interest in supporting our cause, and have with heartfelt generosity donated their artwork, to be
auctioned in favour of raising funds to support The Perfect World’s work. The art auction is truly a perfect
opportunity to buy amazing artwork, while contributing to nature and wildlife conservation.
Funds raised through this year’s art auction will support organizations working with nature and wildlife
conservation worldwide, and awareness campaigns organized by The Perfect World Foundation. If you
would like your donation to be allocated a special cause/animal, please contact the foundation for more
information.
The Perfect World Foundation is governed by
The Swedish Fundraising Control (90-konto/
account) and FRII, which mean that the
foundation has chosen to have the highest
regulatory demands on their organization, to
show full transparency.
We would like to express our gratitude to the
volunteers who have been working for free
for months, to make the art auction happen.
Thank you; Joachim Hjerpe, Camilla Jönsson
and Marie Kjellsdotter.
Last but not least… a wholehearted salute
and thanks to all the artists and companies
for their donations!

Welcome to the Polar Bear Ball and 2018 Conservation Art Auction!

NICK BRANDT is an English photographer who photographs exclusively in Africa, one of his goals being to record
a last testament to the wild animals and places there before they are destroyed at the hands of man. He is one of the
most successful living photographers with prices exceeding SEK 700,000.

In Brantd’s series Wasteland, of epic panoramas, he records the impact of man on places where animals used to
roam, but no longer do. In each location, Brandt erects a life size panel of one of his animal portrait photographs,
setting the panels within a world of explosive urban development, factories, wasteland and quarries. The people in
the photographs go about their daily lives, oblivious to the presence of the panels and the animals within them, who
are effectively now no more than ghosts in the landscape.

In 2010, Brandt co-founded the non-profit organization, Big Life Foundation, which helps protect over 800,000
hectares of East African ecosystem. Employing 350 local rangers and staff, Big Life has dramatically reduced the
incidence of poaching in the region.

JYTTE FREDHOLM FERREIRA Ferreira is one of our
current times great Wildlife photographers. Thanks to her
ability to communicate with the wild animals she gets closer
to them like no other.

Jytte has spent the bigger part of her life in Africa. With her
base in South Africa she has explored some of the wildest parts
of Africa and many other exotic places on our beautiful planet.
Her absolute dedication and love for nature and wildlife is the
red thread in her pictures. Her photographs literally speak
directly to you through the eyes of its subjects. She is a regular
contributor the prestigious Africa Geographic, has participated
in a number of TV productions with Discovery Channel,
Animal Planet, Kika network, Swedish Television etc. and in
her recently released book “ The heart of the soul” you can view

awards for her achievements within conservation and media.

As a conservationist, Jytte feels there is an absolute urgency to
create greater understanding, love and appreciation between us
and nature, for without it, our natural world and the wonders
within will be lost…

“When asked what methods I use when shooting wildlife
pictures, my answer is generally not of a technical nature. My
success is mainly defined by the ability to communicate with
the animals and, to attain the contact I seek with the animal´s
inner essence and it´s environment. In the end it is the animal
that leads the way, determining the outcome of our encounter
and ultimately the messages that are expressed my pictures.”

Power and Glory – In his eyes, I meet the power, the calmness

and the predator’s wild beauty. King of Africa’s wilderness, with

unbending bravery and strength he manifests his aphoristic

existence, unperturbed by the calamity of the outside world.

30 EDIN DZANIC – Art has always been a part of my family, with grandpa
as a painter, uncle as painter and architect, and my brother always drew a
EDIN DZANIC lot. So it was natural for me to try to copy what my older brother did, and
doing so it turned out I also had talent for it. After completing various art
“Zero” 2018 educations after high school I decided to pursuit my creativity and study
Acrylic on canvas (original) graphic design. Having realized that 9-5 was not really my thing I decided to
invest a 100% on art and devote my life to creativity. I have now worked as a
80 x 100 cm full time artist for 8 years, and it has been the best decision I have ever made.
Starting bid:
14 000 SEK / 1 300 EUR Art has been a journey of discovery for me. I find inspiration in women and
the female body, they are amazing and have so many variations, expressions
and feelings. I paint with great passion, playfulness, and constantly look for
a special sense of freedom in my painting. I want to encourage strength,
self-confidence and freedom!
