Patrick Nagel Art Rare “Seated Man" Silkscreen, Framed Only 40 Pcs Made

About the Item

I have owned this Patrick Nagel original silkscreen “Seated Man” since it was released in 1981. I was in fashion college then and Patrick and his beautiful wife were my neighbors. We became friends and I got prints and I made him shirts. He died way to young at the height of his career in 1984. I framed it after he passed, unfortunately it was never signed by Patrick. I guarantee it is 100% real, and authentic. The piece will come with a letter of authentication from the Nagel Estate. The edition was small. Only 40 were made plus a few artist proofs that Patrick kept. I paid over $1000 to frame and matt the piece to do it justice. Masculine, modern and clean. The piece will be shipped in it’s orig frame. I had the piece done with plexi and not glass. The value of this piece currently was hard to come ip with as they are so rare and the lifetime limited edition prints are getting over the top prices worldwide. Measures: Image with frame: 31.50” W x 41” W x 2.25” D BIO: The Pop Art of Patrick Nagel needs little introduction. His minimalist style defined an era with cool, seductive women that became the most iconic of any single generation. His elegant graphic work and his portrayal of the contemporary woman made figurative design before him look instantly old. Today his unique sensibility and style continue to resonate with generations of young designers, illustrators and artists who have found inspiration from his trend-setting style. Nagel was in the forefront of a new wave of illustration in Los Angeles in the late 1970’s and early 80’s, re-imagining the graphic arts and in the process defining Los Angeles as the epicenter of award-winning visual arts. It was a reciprocal relationship; Los Angeles influenced his evolving style and in return he left his indelible mark on the city and far beyond. Through cultural cross-pollination, his work absorbed the moment – from the fashion photography of Guy Bourdin and Helmut Newton to influencing the look of music videos by David Bowie, Robert Palmer and George Michael, to creating the album cover art of Duran Duran. Patrick Nagel was born in Dayton, Ohio in 1945 and was raised in Orange County, California. After returning from his tour in Viet Nam, he studied fine art at Chouinard Art Institute and California State University, Fullerton where he received his BA in 1969 in painting and graphic design. He then taught at Art Center College of Design while simultaneously establishing himself as a free-lance designer and illustrator with memorable ads for Ballantine Scotch, IBM and covers for Harper’s magazine. In the mid-70’s he began illustrating stories for Playboy magazine, bringing instant exposure and a large appreciative audience to his work. His years working with Playboy established him as the heir apparent to 50’s pin-up artist Alberto Vargas and gave Nagel the subject matter that he would continue to use to illustrate the newly liberated woman.
