ABOUT NAGEL: What's the market lately?

ABOUT NAGEL: What's the market lately?

There is no single answer to this question. . . the market for art is always volatile, and changes in the economy dramatically affect activity. 

Over 18 years, since the 1995 settlement of the lawsuit between Mirage Editions (Nagel's publisher), Playboy Magazine, and Jennifer Dumas (Pat's widow), sale of Pat's work has gone from hot to pariah - and everything in between - with no apparent rhyme or reason.

We do see a new group of collectors for Pat's work today.  Many who loved his work 20 years ago were in college, and had no way to buy what they loved.  Now they are able, and want to purchase a meaningful work by an artist they have admired for so long.  But they're savvy, and want a great value. . .
