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
