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.

Jeff Koons' Metallic Venus on a large museum poster for Moderna Museet in Stockholm: an exhibition sheet of 70 x 100 cm, bought from the publisher and kept unused, opened once only to check the contents.
The Piece
The sheet is given almost entirely to one sculpture. Metallic Venus, made between 2010 and 2012, stands on a pale plinth in a white gallery: a classical bather recast in mirror polished steel, coated in deep transparent teal, with a vase of real white flowering plants rising beside her hip. Every curve throws back the room, so the figure seems at once heavy and liquid.
Along the lower edge, the typography names the show: Fritsch, Koons, Ray, Skulptur efter skulptur, with the dates 11.10 to 18.1 and the museum's hand drawn logotype. The exhibition set Koons beside Katharina Fritsch and Charles Ray, three sculptors who rework familiar forms with unsettling precision.
Printed for the museum rather than as a numbered edition, it records that moment and holds a whole wall.
