A guide for this piece: about $34, based on the 10% US charge on the declared value of goods made in Japan.
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.
With EMS, any charge is collected by your postal service on delivery. For pieces of significant value we can often arrange duties prepaid before dispatch.

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.

Alex Israel's Self-Portrait, the artist's profile in sunglasses rendered in a sunset palette of magenta, orange and pale blue, printed in four colours as a poster for the Astrup Fearnley Museet in Oslo.
The Piece
Israel, born in Los Angeles in 1982, makes art about the city that raised him: its skies, its studio backlots, its fantasy of endless sunshine. His Self-Portrait series turns his own silhouette, always in profile and always in sunglasses, into a logo of sorts, a cut-out head filled with gradients that recall Californian dusk, surf culture and the glossy surfaces of entertainment.
On this sheet the head floats on a white ground, hair in deep magenta and plum, face and ear in lilac and ice blue, the jaw glowing orange, a pair of yellow sunglasses wrapping around to a small green ear. Along the foot run the artist's hashtag in red at lower left and the museum's name at lower right, with a short credit line printed vertically at the right edge.
It is a four-colour offset poster, unsigned and not editioned, bought new and kept flat as a sheet without ever being framed.
