**Paul McCartney Teams Up with Ape Artists for Charity Auction Benefiting Save The Chimps**
In a heartfelt and unexpected artistic collaboration, Paul McCartney has partnered with the remarkable residents of Save The Chimps—a Florida-based sanctuary for retired chimpanzees—to create a limited series of abstract paintings now available for auction through Omega Auctions. This marks the first time McCartney has ever offered his own artwork for sale, and the cause couldn’t be more meaningful.
These five unique pieces are true collaborations between McCartney and chimpanzee artists living at the sanctuary. Each painting is infused with vibrant color, expressive brushwork, and the spontaneous creativity that defines abstract art. What makes them even more special is that each one is named after a classic McCartney song—adding a deeply personal and musical layer to each piece.
Every painting is signed by McCartney himself, making this a rare opportunity for collectors and fans alike. Whether you’re drawn to the art, the music, the conservation mission—or all three—these works are one-of-a-kind treasures. The auction not only celebrates creativity but also supports the ongoing care and enrichment of more than 200 chimpanzees who now live peacefully after lives in research labs, the entertainment industry, or private ownership.
“This project was pure joy,” McCartney said. “It’s about connection, compassion, and supporting a great cause. The chimps were amazing collaborators, and I hope these paintings raise awareness and funds for the incredible work Save The Chimps is doing.”
With only five paintings available, bidding is expected to be highly competitive. The auction closes on **July 17**, and all proceeds go directly to the sanctuary.
Don’t miss this chance to own a piece of art history with a wild twist—place your bid today and support the chimps who helped bring these painti
ngs to life.
