The final figure is set by US Customs and depends on where the piece was made and the kind of object it is. Many antiques over a century old carry no ordinary duty; most jewellery and leather goods add a single-digit rate.

Infinity Nets Across Three Boards
The net is the oldest motif in Kusama's work, begun in New York at the end of the 1950s. Spread over three decks it keeps its sense of a field without edges. As a museum edition it offers that motif at wall scale.
Best for: Collectors of Kusama editions and wall display pieces

Freight piece: please confirm delivery before purchase
This piece travels in a crate or by freight rather than standard mail, and may need careful dismantling before it can be packed. The shipping shown at checkout is an estimate. Japonista reserves the right to determine the final handling, crating and freight cost when your order is received, according to the piece, the destination and carrier conditions at that time.
We advise requesting a delivery quote before checkout. If the final cost is higher than the amount paid, we send the difference for your approval before dispatch. Your piece is held for you until it is settled.

The Infinity Nets Skateboard Triptych by Yayoi Kusama, published for the MoMA Design Store in 2018: three maple decks carrying her net pattern in a metallic silver print, from an edition of 500 sets.
The Piece
Hung side by side, the three decks read as one continuous field. The looping cells of the Infinity Nets run across all three boards without a break, printed in a reflective silver that shifts with the light. The pattern derives from a painting held in the MoMA collection.
The reverse of each deck is left in natural maple and printed with the MoMA name above a facsimile of the artist's signature. The carton label reads "Skateboard Triptych, Yayoi Kusama, Infinity Nets" and notes 7-ply maple wood, made in Canada. The plain studio views show the model; the carton photographs show the example offered.
