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.

A Crowd of Grins
George Condo breaks faces into shards and reassembles them into crowds of grinning, staring figures, part Picasso, part cartoon. Eyes and Smiles is exactly that: a dense, pastel-coloured jostle of eyes and teeth. A small, lively sheet that rewards a close look.
Best for: Collectors of contemporary painting wanting a small Condo to frame

George Condo's Eyes and Smiles, 2015: an offset poster on a 30 x 40 cm sheet, unsigned, new and unused.
The Piece
George Condo, born in New Hampshire in 1957, worked in Andy Warhol's Factory as a young man before developing what he calls artificial realism: figures that splice the fractured planes of Picasso with the rubbery grins of American cartoons. His paintings are crowded, funny and unsettling at once.
Eyes and Smiles is a fine example. The image is packed with overlapping heads and bodies, broken into triangles and arcs of pastel pink, turquoise, lemon and grey, with sharp red accents. Everywhere there are eyes, wide, sideways or doubled, and toothy smiles that flash out of the tangle of lines.
A short column of text runs down the right-hand margin. Small enough for a desk wall or a shelf, the sheet takes a simple frame well.
