CHRIS OFILI "UNTITLED (ROYAL PORTRAIT)" 2001

Chris Ofili's Royal Portraits are the most iconic and popular works from his fascinating oeuvre.

They highlight an important element in his work; the celebration of Afrocentric lineage, romance and royalty.

One of the most notorious and unique YBAs (Young British Artists) Ofili’s creations contribute to a complex narrative about African culture, black stereotypes, history, and exoticism.

Ofili draws inspiration from an eclectic array of popular, artistic, and religious sources such as the Bible, William Blake, blaxploitation films, hip hop, and his Nigerian heritage.

We loved The New Museum's (NYC) Chris Ofili retrospective that ran during the winter of 2014 and travelled internationally.  For more information about this not-to-be-missed exhibition click here.

For shipments within North America, we typically charge a flat rate fee. Many items on our site will list the rate. For shipping outside of North America, we can easily provide a quote and will look for the most efficient and economical option.

Most of the items on our site can be easily shipped internationally.

Occasionally we will recommend that an artwork be removed from its frame for shipping. Larger framed works are typically framed with plexiglass. We export over 80% of what we sell, so we are comfortable shipping anywhere. 

- Are there additional taxes or fees?
When a work is valued above $2,500 usd there is a possibility of tax of 0.35%, but this is applied sporadically. There can similarly be an additional fee for customs brokerage and this can range from $20 - $65. US Taxes, duties and customs brokerage are not included in our flat rate shipping. However most of our shipments to the US enter without any additional fees.
