OAKLAND, Calif. — A textbook oil by the French Impressionist Henry Moret (1856-1913) leads the field at Clars Auction Gallery this week. The Dutch coastal scene dating to the year 1900 has an estimate of $50,000-$70,000 and is part of a two-day series set for Thursday, September 14 and Friday, September 15 (Day 1, Day 2).

Moret is best known for his involvement in the Pont-Aven artist colony and his richly colored landscapes of Brittany. He enjoyed a particularly fruitful relationship with the influential dealer Paul Durand-Ruel, who maintained a number of galleries in Paris, London and New York and sold an estimated 600 paintings this way.

Moret only infrequently traveled away from Pont-Aven, but a number of his works dated 1900 depict Holland. Maisons à Volendam, Hollande is a strong example of his bold palette choices and forceful and short brushstrokes, a style he credited much to Claude Monet.

From the other end of the 20th century is a late work by Andy Warhol (1928-1987). Sitting Bull, derived from an archival photo of the Sioux chief, was originally part of the Pop artist’s Cowboys and Indians portfolio completed in 1986, but was later replaced by another subject. There was no published edition. It is estimated at $40,000-$60,000.

The Fall Modern + Contemporary Art Auction on September 14 features prints by a number of blue-chip names including Francis Bacon, Salvador Dali, Wayne Thiebaud and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec.

Leading a fine selection of 20th-century photographs is Fayel Tall by artist and writer Peter Beard (1938–2020). This 1995 image of the Kenyan model posing in a mudcloth skirt relates to The End of the Game, the photo book documenting the issues facing wildlife in Kenya that brought him fame in the 1960s. An inscription on the left of the photograph quotes a passage from book. The unique gelatin silver print has an estimate of $20,000-$40,000.

The following day’s Collectors Auction includes one of the famous elephant folio prints from John James Audubon’s The Birds of America. Canvas Backed Ducks or Fuligula vallisneria formed part of the classic 1836 Robert Havell edition and carries the watermark for J Whatman Turkey Mill. It is estimated at $10,000-$15,000.
