Stockholms Auktionsverk presents Johan Wallin Collection for Art for the Globe

The Art for the Globe Foundation was founded in 2023 by physician Johan Wallin with the aim of raising awareness about the planet’s precarious state and mobilizing change for a sustainable world through culture. The foundation supports artists, musicians, writers, and other humanists who use their words, images, or music to make the complex subject of sustainability more tangible.

The foundation’s mission is to generate financial resources for a sustainable planet, including awarding one of Sweden’s largest cultural prizes annually—up to one million kronor—to a recipient who raises awareness of climate change from a humanistic perspective. The foundation’s funds come from Johan Wallin’s extensive art collection, which will be gradually auctioned off through a series of curated themes.

In short, this is a concrete example of how art can create the conditions for a sustainable future.
