Nigeria's most celebrated living printmaker, b. 1932. Editions of 100 sit outside the 12-copy limit that Chapter 97 puts on duty-free sculpture — ask your broker before you assume.

What the gallery's page does not tell you. Leaving Nigeria: no export permit needed. On arrival in the United States this is not obviously inside Chapter 97 — check the classification before you ship, because craft and decorative objects pay the duty rate of their material, and since 24 July 2026 it would also carry the 12.5% forced-labour duty on Nigeria goods. At 30cm on its longest side this travels flat in a portfolio or a cabin bag, which is the cheapest and safest way to move it. At $2,166 it sits in the middle of what Lagos galleries publish online.

Buy from Hourglass Gallery / Yellow Adire

We do not sell this work and take nothing from its sale. The price above is the gallery's, read on its own page on 15 September 2026; the gallery can change it at any time and the figure it shows today is the one that counts.

Getting it home

No export permit neededNigeria's National Commission for Museums and Monuments Act reaches antiquities: archaeological material, relics of early Nigerian civilisation, work made before 1918, and objects of traditional art used in religious or ceremonial life. A new canvas by a living artist is none of those and leaves as ordinary goods. Take a dated invoice naming the artist, the year, the medium and the dimensions. Exporters routinely ask the Commission for a written no-objection anyway — it costs little and settles the argument at the airport rather than at the gate.
