A guide for this piece: about $26, 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 Face Slipping Out of Focus
Boltanski spent his life on memory and loss, and this poster carries his signature device: a single face enlarged until it blurs and begins to vanish. Washed in cold blue light, it is haunting rather than sad. A striking museum poster with real gravity.
Best for: Admirers of Boltanski wanting a large, atmospheric museum poster

The poster for Christian Boltanski's exhibition Bewegt at the Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg, 2 March to 21 July 2013: 83.8 x 61 cm, unused.
The Piece
Christian Boltanski, the French artist who died in 2021, made memory, absence and the passing of time his life's subject. His installations of old photographs, worn clothing and flickering lights are among the most moving works of the late twentieth century.
This poster uses one of his signature images: a single face, enlarged until the features soften and dissolve, washed in a cold blue light. The eyes are dark hollows; the mouth is barely there. Across the top, the artist's name is set in bright blue type, with the exhibition title Bewegt, meaning moved, floating at the left, and the museum's name and dates along the foot.
At over 80 cm tall it has real presence, and it frames beautifully in black.
