NOTES:

Carol "Yoke" Yochum worked for Mirage Editions, Nagel's publisher, from its very beginnings and without her, things would not nearly have been as enjoyable for those who dealt with the company.

This image was also used in the macquette for the bronze sculpture of the same name released in 1983.

We think the use of the 'military' cap was what set this image apart from the rest of Nagel's work. Very striking and memorable.

This is the large-sized, limited edition—there was no other iteration of this print ever released — no poster, no posthumous version; only 125 of these are in existence.

ABOUT PATRICK NAGEL (1945 - 1984): For every decade since the development of color, planographic art (the mid-19th Century) there has been an artist whose work was instrumental in reflecting and, in some cases defining, the era in which they lived. For the1980's, it was NagelPic Patrick Nagel. Nagel was a phenomenon, much like those great painter/illustrators to precede him -- Jules Cheret, A.M. Cassandre, Leyendecker, Holwein, Toulouse-Lautrec, Rockwell, to name only a few. • At the end of his short life, Playboy magazine was accepting illustrations from Nagel sight-unseen to run in the magazine and his fame and fortune had reached staggering heights in the fine art world. Because of his untimely demise, Patrick's "lifetime" body of work is (comparatively) very small. But it was important work. The Nagel 'renaissance' has already begun—the work is being revisited by scholars and collectors alike.

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. Those prints are open edition, off-set lithographs and in some cases, are copies of famous Nagel images. Some are knock-offs or even outright fakes
The 'real' Nagel collectible art -- i.e., graphics and posters released during Nagel's life -- you rarely see, but they can bring prices in three and four figures. 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,
