About "Wasserman Silkscreen Co."
Contrary to what the Nagel book indicates, (the two images were juxtaposed) this poster was sized at 17x25. The same image was used for 'Standiing Lady', a large ltd. ed. print (37x60). This image has the words "Wasserman Silkscreen" running vertically in the left panel.
Jeff Wasserman, a master serigrapher who came from Gemini G.E.L. (a well respected NY fine art atelier) printed all of the lifetime posters and limited editions, up until 1980-- at which point Sampoer Silkscreen got the job -- and he is probably the finest silk screen printer in America. A very haunting image.
Wassmerman's shop was (and still is) located next door to the shabby chic offices of Mirage Editions down in the industrial disctrict of Santa Monica, CA.

The complete tirage was: 250 s/n; 20 a/ps; 6 p/ps; 6 doubles s/n 1000 Unsigned,
A Hand-pulled Serigraph in 11 colors. Printed in 1980 by Wasserman Silkscreen Co.
This one is from the SIGNED AND NUMBERED EDITION OF 250. It measures 17x25, is offered unframed
This is print is ACTUALLY SIGNED BY NAGEL IN PENCIL, rather than the signature having been printed on, which is how many sellers claim to have 'signed' Nagels.
Condition of this print is rated 'good to fine', never framed.
Please note: this serigraph is in much better condition than this rather poor photo would indicate. Take our word for it, this print is a very serious addition to a Nagel print collection. And btw, we sold a another signed erigraphi from this edition just two years ago for over $1,000.
