Empty speech bubbles float around her head, and the title is scrawled across the top in red, half scribbled over, while lines of handwritten text run down the right-hand margin. The ruled lines of the paper show through the drawing, giving it the immediacy of a page torn from a notebook.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorks on paper like this one sit at the heart of Nara's practice. In the 1990s, while living in Germany, he drew constantly on whatever paper was at hand, pairing his rebellious children with fragments of song lyrics and punk attitude. The drawings are quick and unguarded, and many collectors consider them the most direct expression of his voice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"jp-details\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yoshitomo Nara\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTitle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Get Off My Back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1996, as described\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMedium:\u003c\/strong\u003e Coloured pencil on lined paper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unique work, as described\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSignature:\u003c\/strong\u003e A small inscription is visible at the lower right; the Desk has not verified it\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImage size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 22.5 x 15 cm (8.9 x 5.9 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrame:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pale wood frame with a wide off-white mat, glazed; outer size being confirmed against our archive records\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDocumentation:\u003c\/strong\u003e A gallery label on the reverse naming the artist, title, year, medium and size, as shown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very Good; see below\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe image size is taken from the label on the reverse; please write to the Desk for the outer frame size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe sheet appears clean and flat behind glazing, with the colours bright.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe frame shows light handling marks consistent with age.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAssessed from photographs only; ask the Desk for close photographs of any area.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvery photograph is part of the description.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition grade \u003cstrong\u003eB (very good, light wear)\u003c\/strong\u003e on the Japanese scale; see \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/news\/japanese-condition-ranks-explained\"\u003eJapanese condition ranks, explained\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAuthenticity \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOffered as an original drawing on the strength of the description and the label on the reverse; the Desk makes no independent attribution.
