ArtMan, I was finally able to find and purchase one.... Your estimate came in a bit low though.... 

If you are interested, the dealer I bought from has a second one as well at $330k... I can put you two in touch.. 

Or I can call Pace and say hi 😃

Yoshitomo Nara launched a website where anyone can buy to avoid reselling

Yoshitomo Nara online store is a website that sells Yoshitomo Nara display products, which are only sold in places and in some areas. Most items are on sale for a limited time during the exhibition period.

store.yoshitomonara.com/

Anyone know what this sold for? (Just curious!)

plus fees on top!

I think it hammered at $11k. So around £11k all in.

Cheers.
Seems to be the average price for these at the moment.

what about the ones packaged with DISH printed on the box instead of too young to die ashtray like i have normally seen. the font on the ashtray itself is different and the notches for the cigs are smaller too. seems to be bootlegs, currently several on ebay of course for $1000's

A new NARA collection

The collection, which appears alongside the Yoshitomo Nara exhibition at Yuz Museum in Shanghai (5th March - 4th September), comprises four exciting new editions – one solo, two triptychs and the artist’s first pentaptych released under THE SKATEROOM. The editions will be available on sale at Yuz Museum, and internationally via theskateroom.com.

This latest collection celebrates some of the artist’s most iconic works, with each edition interplaying the sweet and sinister elements which makes Nara’s style both unsettling and deeply beautiful. Indeed, some of the original works appear at Yuz Museum’s exhibition in Shanghai, with the editions on sale in the museum store.

Supporting Skateistan’s New Chapter
The new collection by Yoshitomo Nara commits 10% of its revenue to sponsoring Skateistan ‘A New Chapter’, which means buyers are directly creating change in the lives of young people all over the world, as art and skateboarding unite.

Until the start of August 2021, Skateistan had been running programs in three cities in Afghanistan, as well as in South Africa and Cambodia. But when the government fell, Skateistan had to suspend their programs in Afghanistan for the first time since 2009. This led Skateistan to rethink their strategy – focusing on increasing the number of Skate Schools around the world so they could reach more children, faster. This expansion strategy is called ‘A New Chapter’, and intends to operate in 20 locations by the end of 2022.
