Patrick Nagel Playboy's Tracy Vaccaro "No Smoking" Playboy Forum October 1983. "The Art of Patrick Nagel" Model is Playmate Tracy Vaccaro.
In case you missed it a little plug...Heritage Auctions published my article on Nagel last week. https://intelligentcollector.com/reframing-patrick-nagels-place-in-art-history/ And I can't wait to see the three canvases in Dallas. Anyone going?
Image is 12" x 9". Created for Playboy Acrylic on Board published October 1983 for the Playboy Forum coluum. (Nagel also created a canvas image but it has yet to resurface. I believe that image does not have the "No Smoking" symbol on her shirt.) The board appears in "The Art of Patrick Nagel" p.109. Model is Playmate Tracy Vaccaro, one of Nagel's favorite models and the same model for his iconic "Sunglasses."
Go check out the THREE gorgeous canvases up next Tuesday at Heritage Auctions TWO are of Tracy! I can't wait to see them in person. I thought I would post today with all that great art coming up Tuesday. I run PatrickNagelArts on Instagram and I am a Nagel scholar. Got one to sell? Or looking to buy? Let me know
