$500–$4,000. Common prints: $500–$1,500. Key value factors: Ono's socially conscious prints and urban scenes are valued for both artistic quality and historical interest.
A figure work exploring rest and stillness — the act of sitting down treated as a formal study rather than an anecdotal scene. Part of a numbered series in which Ono returns repeatedly to this quieted posture, "Sit down (5)" suggests sustained investigation of how a body at rest occupies space and creates visual weight on a picture plane. The flat printing style gives the figure a sculptural solidity despite the two-dimensional medium.
