De Zwann galleries in Amsterdam has this collection online http://www.dezwaan.nl/and will be auctioning it on 23 June, 2010. There are lots of interesting pieces from South America and elsewhere. Ms. Lautz (1923-2002) started collecting in 1955, following in the tradition of her father. According to Tribal Magazine, "her main interest was with the various techniques that were used world-wide. She collected samples from every continent and these are now presented in over 400 lots in the upcoming auction." Unfortunately, the photos online are of rather poor quality.
