Patrick Nagel Print

Is it too soon to bring this back?  No, I think it's a perfect time right now.  We need a little of Patrick Nagel's Eighties and his New Wave-Pop Art, and the wonderful individuality and creativity of the time.  Dancing at Area and Limelight in NYC, Kieth, Andy and Jean-Michel, Parachute, Matinique and Agnes b.  A time when 10,000 Maniacs were on the radio and not in the White House.  A time when we were enjoying the Style Council and not fearing Bannon and what was going to happen with the National Security Council.  Hope this takes you back to a happier day if only for a moment.  It's as far as I can gather, an advertising piece for Nagel's 1985 book of illustrations.  Best part is the pink neon collar!  37" h., 27" w., 2.5" d.  American, c. 1985  SOLD

John Widdicomb Sofa




Winter off-white!  This super stylish MCM sofa by John Widdicomb is long, luxurious and in almost mint vintage condition with its original upholstery.  It has a single, tufted seat cushion and three back and two arm cushions.  The sofa has been attributed to Robsjohn Gibbings and as you can see, it looks great with the Gibbings coffee table.  However, I have not found any documentation stating that he was the designer and the original label does not mention Gibbings.  The attached link shows the sofa reupholstered in another fabric, but in need of reupholstering again.  https://www.1stdibs.com/furniture/seating/sofas/john-widdicomb-sofa-upholstered-striped-sunbrella-fabric/id-f_670684/ The original cream upholstery suits this exceptional sofa perfectly and it has been newly, professionally cleaned.  American, c. 1960's  96.5" l., 36.5" d., 27" h.  SOLD

Love everything about this super stylish sofa.  The clean, modern DW design is timeless.  It is extremely comfortable, and the newer pin-striped upholstery is very handsome and in excellent condition.  Since it was reupholstered, there are no original labels, but it is quite similar in style to sofas by Milo Baughman.  84" l., 34" d., 24" h.  American, c. 1970's  SOLD
