We are not discussing values of creativity, paint or canvas there are enough examples of this throughout history.

Ever since a certain Ms. Rothschild found, liked and bought a Van Gogh painting in a fleamarket in 1905 for five francs people all over the world have been looking for the big bargain that would make them millionaires.

In 1905 nobody would have made a single bet that Van Gogh would not only be remembered in every Encyclopaedia of the world but also see his paintings sold for millions of dollars and museums fighting each other to have at least one original.

VAN XILEF paintings are not about recognition in the context of ART though they have been acclaimed by Art Experts, Collectors, Curators and ordinary people as perhaps the most unique and oustanding paintings of the 20th Century.

VAN XILEF's paintings represent a pledge and deed of action – each buyer knowing that through the purchase of a VAN XILEF painting he or she has made a personal commitment to help to save the planet.

Thus the higher the price paid the greater the deed and the commitment; the greater the impact we can make to save the planet.

Each VAN XILEF painting represents a specific token of gratitude to the bidder from all fellow species and their natural habitat.

According to a study by Scientists and Ecological Economists from Maryland and Cambridge Universities about USD $45 billion should be spent to conserve natural habitat on land and in the oceans which would produce a net return in "services" produced by Nature of between USD $400 and $520 trillion. Such "services" from Nature include storm and flood protection, atmospheric carbon sinks protecting us from the harmful effects of pollution, reduced harmful street level ozone proliferation and less greenhouse effect, reduced atmospheric ozone layer destruction, increased photosynthesis, less global warming, prevention of ice caps melting etc.; in short a healthier environment for all life on the planet.

EQUAL EARTH HAS THUS PRICED EACH VAN XILEF PAINTING AT A RESERVE PRICE OF USD $1,2MILLION OR € 1 MILLION EUROS INVITING ALL DONORS AND SPONSORS TO BID IN EXCESS OF THE RESERVE PRICE TO MAKE AS BIG A PLANET SAVING IMPACT AS POSSIBLE.

To give those who have greater means an opportunity to bid in excess of the reserve price for VAN XILEF paintings we are introducing an AUCTION platform where bidding starts in excess of $1.2 million US dollars or 1 million Euros for each VAN XILEF painting.

The winning bid for each painting will be declared within three days of receiving the first bid for a particular painting.

The successful bidder will be informed according to his or her instructions, i.e. via email or fax.

Bidders must deposit the amount of their bid with a recognised Bank, Law Firm or Accountants who in turn must confirm to us receipt of the bid money.

No bid can be accepted until such confirmation of deposit has been received by us.

A bidder may remain completely anonymous before, throughout and after the auction.

However, any bidder may at any time choose for his or her identity to be revealed to be commemorated in our GALLERY OF PLANET-SAVERS.

Very large bids enabling us to buy an important area of forest or natural wildlife habitat can be preserved in memory under the name of the successful bidder or his or her appointed nominee subject to respective approvals.

Being awarded the unique privilege to name a forest and natural wildlife habitat after yourself or a loved one as an historic accolade to your generosity and foresight in helping to save the planet for all species will be remembered as a thoughtful gift for posterity and the ultimate achievement of human existence.

Corporate, Institutional and Governmental bidders will enhance their public image and stewardship of the planet.

Unsuccessful bids for any particular VAN XILEF painting; i.e. bids which were topped by someone else will be allocated to a similar VAN XILEF painting on the same bid basis so that in effect every bid above the reserve price will be ultimately successful.

Anyone who wishes to participate in the bidding should complete the form below and produce the appropriate evidence in respect of the full deposit of the bid price paid into their representative bank, or to their lawyers or accountants and arrange for us to receive a confirmation that the bid money has been deposited.

Alternatively those wishing to remain anonymous may contact us via their representative or agent.

We are not tax experts but in view of the fact that we constitute a non-profitmaking philosophy and the only activity being the preservation of rainforests and natural wildlife habitat we understand that the amounts spent on any VAN XILEF paintings purchased by auction are a tax deductible expense. A bidder must rely on the advice of accountants in this respect.

We certify that all monies received from the AUCTIONS of VAN XILEF paintings are for the exclusive acquisition and regeneration of rainforests and natural wildlife habitat throughout the planet Earth. The transparency of all transactions can be fully accompanied by the bidder"™s lawyers, accountants, surveyors or other relevant experts.
