Nara's 2017 girl with green and russet eyes on a yellow-green ground, issued as an unsigned offset print by his N's Yard museum and presented in a gold frame.
The Piece
She looks straight out of the picture, round-faced and serious, her hair a warm brown curtain and her eyes built from layers of green, amber and red. The title runs along the foot of the sheet, and the N's Yard mark sits at the upper right, in the presentation used for the museum's prints after Nara's paintings.
The image is about 62 by 47 cm, set in a gold frame with a white mat that measures 93 by 73.5 cm (36.6 x 28.9 in) overall. It is an unsigned offset print, not a hand-signed edition.
Yoshitomo Nara and N's Yard
Yoshitomo Nara studied in Aichi and then for a decade in Germany, and returned to Japan in 2000 already known for his solitary children with their sidelong stare. N's Yard, the museum he opened in Tochigi, issues offset prints after selected paintings; they carry the museum's mark and the title line, and they are not signed by the artist.
