Patrick Nagel Retro Panther Art Print vs Patrick Nagel Limited Edition Serigraph

Buy the open-edition print if you want Nagel's retro panther look on a wall without hunting for a collectible. Buy the 1982 serigraph if you want an original, hand-signed, numbered work from Nagel's lifetime and are prepared to pay for it. The print is a reproduction on paper or cotton canvas, shipped rolled in a tube and unmounted. The serigraph is a screen print from an edition of 250, signed in pencil and framed under glass in an aluminum frame. Owners of the print report accurate sizing and vibrant color but slow delivery. The serigraph is a different class of object: scarcer, framed and ready to hang, and it carries the resale and authentication questions any limited edition does.

• Choose the Patrick Nagel Retro Panther Art Print if you want the panther image as affordable wall decor and are fine with a reproduction that arrives rolled and needs framing.
• Choose the Limited Edition Serigraph if you want a signed, numbered 1982 screen print from an edition of 250, framed and ready to hang, and you value the collectible over the low-cost route.
