Patrick Nagel 1992 Framed Print vs Patrick Nagel Gray Lady Screenprint

The "Gray Lady" is the serious collector's piece: a 1982 nine-color screenprint from Mirage Editions, numbered 86/90, printed by Jeff Wasserman, and large at 27½ x 44 inches. The 1992 framed print is a later, unsigned reproduction with no stated edition or printer, so it suits someone who wants the Nagel look on a wall rather than a limited print. Buyers who care about provenance and resale go with the "Gray Lady"; buyers decorating on a budget go with the 1992 print.

• Choose the 1992 framed print if you want a large Nagel image to hang and don't need a numbered, limited edition.
• Choose the "Gray Lady" if you want a documented 1982 screenprint with an edition number, printer and publisher behind it.
