ABOUT CN12

Marguerita Bergen had a small poster shop on Royal Street in New Orleans. She sold more Nagels that any other dealer in the Southeast and because of it, Mirage honored her with putting the name of the gallery on this commemorative graphic in 1987. did.

I'm told Marguerita was out of the business even before the tragedy in that city.

A great Nagel image, though.
ABOUT THE CNs (Commemorative Nagel)
Unlike a lot of Nagel posters, the CNs were authorized and published by Mirage Editions, Nagel's publisher. Though posthumous, they are still wonderful works of art and had he not passed, would likely have gone on to become signed and numbered limited editions.
A WORD TO THOSE NEW TO NAGEL
You will notice there is huge difference in price on Nagel's work. This is especially true on eBay where you'll see things for as little as $20. These prints are inexpensive, off-set lithographs and in some cases, are copies of famous Nagel images. Some are knock-offs of even the CNs. The 'real' Nagel collectible art, i.e., graphics and posters released during Nagel's life, you rarely see here, but they bring prices in three and four figures.

ABOUT PURCHASING FRAMED PRINTS
This piece is offered framed only. Sometimes it's as expensive to ship something framed as it is to have it shipped unframed in a tube and reframe it once it arrives. We can't ship framed art with glass facings in them, anyway—so even if you order it framed, you'll still have to have the glass replaced. However, in a case where the mats, inner materials and mouldings are in good shape, it does make sense for us to remove the glass and ship it flat.
CAVEAT EMPTOR:
Although many of the Nagels you see on eBay are correct, there is also an awful lot of misrepresentation (some of it is admittedly inadvertant) and fraudulent listings. Be careful if you're thinking of spending any serious money. For more on that subject, follow THIS LINK to our Nagel site.
