About the Serigraphic Posters
NEW NAGEL FANS: This is a LIFETIME serigraphic print, not a posthumous litho. If you ae going to spend hard earned dollars on a Nagel, why not purchase something that has real ongoing value? Anything printed after Nagel passed away will have no future value at all. These 'lifetime' prints -- as the art scholars refer to them -- will increase in value over time.

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
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.
