Patrick Nagel rare male Commercial Illustration, c. 1978 SOLD

Patrick Nagel original commercial illustration on Crescent board, c. 1978.

Absolutely incredible color and details. A handsome acrylic on board. The black border detail in fact is all hand painted! One of his best male pieces in my opinion.

Provenance from one collector that saw the piece in Pat's studio while he was alive and was lucky enough to get it from the Nagel family. (She was dating his brother-in-law, so that helps!) She had it on her walls in California ever since.

Believed to be created for an album cover (before RIO!) due to its square size (approx 13") matching other album covers he did during this time, but actual purpose is unknown. Very fashion forward so collectors have also attributed him to a Levi's ad. The estate authenticated the painting but had never seen him before, so he is absolutely a new discovery.

NOW SOLD!

I have other pieces that are not posted if you are looking for a VERY rare male or other paintings, drawings or limited editions please contact me.
