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.

Paint That Becomes a Face
Saville's heavy, dragged strokes resolve into a head turned away in cool light. The poster carries that tension at full scale.
Best for: Admirers of figurative painting and museum graphics

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.

Jenny Saville on the poster for NOW at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, 24 March to 16 September 2018: a museum sheet of 68.4 x 48.6 cm, bought from the publisher and kept unused, opened once only to check the contents.
The Piece
Saville's painted head takes up most of the sheet. A young face tilts back and away, pale blue eyes turned aside, the skin built from heavy, dragged strokes of cream, ochre and rose against a ground of cool green and teal. Up close the paint dissolves into abstraction; at a step back it becomes a person caught in a moment of exposure.
Below the image, set in clean type on a grey green field, are the details of the show at Modern One, with admission free: NOW, Jenny Saville, presented alongside Sara Barker, Christine Borland, Robin Rhode, Markus Schinwald and Catherine Street. The gallery's name runs at the upper right.
It records a major Saville presentation in Edinburgh, at a scale that suits a hallway or study.
