Patrick Nagel Framed Poster vs Patrick Nagel Serigraph Prints

Buy the single 1988 Mirage Editions silkscreen poster if you want one large, clean Nagel image to hang now; it is the safer, simpler buy. Buy the three-print 1979 lot if you are a Nagel collector who wants signed, earlier work and accepts that condition, framing and authenticity need checking. The single poster is a later offset silkscreen reproduction, while the trio is described as signed original-era serigraphs, so the trio carries more collector weight but more risk.

• Choose the single Mirage Editions poster if you want one big, ready-to-frame Nagel image with a known 1988 production date and a straightforward condition story.
• Choose the three-print lot if you collect Nagel, want signed 1979 serigraphs, and are willing to verify signatures, condition and framing yourself.
