A guide for this piece: about $1,942, 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.

The poster of twenty supermarket soup tins in rows, published by Pictures on Walls, offered framed with the purchase record from the publisher.
The Piece
Twenty tins of own brand cream of tomato soup are set out in a grid of four by five on a white sheet, each drawn with the blue and white stripes and red banner of the value range. The repetition is the subject, as it was for the American painter whose tins these answer. The sheet is shown in a narrow black frame, with close photographs of single tins.
The purchase record from the publisher travels with it, shown with personal details masked. The printed card tube in which such posters were sent appears in one photograph for reference only and is not included.
The Cheapest Tin on the Shelf
The soup tin entered the work in 2005, when a painting of it was hung without permission in a New York museum and stayed there for days. It swaps the comfortable brand of pop art for the cheapest tin in a British supermarket, and in doing so turns a picture about plenty into one about getting by. The poster brings that idea to the wall at a modest size.
