May, 2007 -- I was invited up to Los Angeles this past month to appear in an in depth Hollywood documentary on Patrick Nagel, his history and his work. The film is in production now and is slated to be released this September. Watch this space for more details...!




			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 the great painter/illustrators to precede him -- Cheret, Cassandre, Leyendecker, Holwein, Toulouse-Lautrec, to name only a few. Nagel's place in art history is already assured.



			Because of his untimely demise at the early age of only 38, 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. People who collect fine prints and moreover, antique posters, are beginning to see the future potential in owning a 'real' Nagel serigraph.
			We have a few things for sale on this site in the more modest range of price (follow the link above marked "Our current Inventory); but we keep the more rarified serigraphs on our art brokering site, the Inside Art Trader. Click the logo to go there....
