OAKLAND, Calif. – On Friday, July 14, Clars Auction Gallery will conduct a sale titled Tribal Arts, Interiors, Art & Jewelry Auction. Absentee and Internet live bidding will be available through LiveAuctioneers.
The sale will be led by a major and important collection of ethnographic art from Vanna and N. Lee Lacy of Palm Springs, California. Mr. Lacy was a prominent Hollywood producer of films, creative golden-era TV series and iconic commercials. His collecting has spanned six decades. Highlights include a Bakota reliquary from Gabon, estimated at $15,000-$20,000, and an Olmec figure of a baby with an estimate of $12,000-$18,000.
The fine jewelry and timepieces selection features a variety of wardrobe staples at accessible price points.

The July 14 Clars sale also showcases an acrylic-on-canvas painting by American artist Herb Jackson. Known for abstract and non-objective paintings, Jackson’s colorful compositions are in collections throughout the world, including in the Brooklyn Museum in New York and the British Museum in London. The work up for auction on July 14, titled Ancient Cycles, features bright earth tones and has a heavily textured appearance and is estimated at $8,000-$12,000.
Also to be featured in the July sale is a bronze sculpture by contemporary French artist Christophe Charbonnel. Titled Homme a la Pierre, this statue depicts a male figure modeled in a style influenced by antique Greek and Roman sculpture. Charbonnel’s figures often echo Classical statuary but are modernized with heavily textured elements and a degree of abstraction alongside emotive expressions on each sculpted face. The bronze on offer is estimated at $5,000-$7,000.
Rounding out the highlights is an acrylic-on-canvas painting by well-known American actor and artist James Franco. Franco’s artwork appears to be influenced by street art and urban scenery, while also paying homage to Neo-Expressionist artists such as Jean-Michel Basquiat with bright colors and an energetic feel. The painting will be offered at $4,000-$6,000.
