- Is this poster signed by Patrick Nagel?
- No. The signature is printed in the serigraph, as the listing states. Nagel died in 1984, and this 1986 commemorative was produced after his death.
- Is it a serigraph or a regular poster?
- It is described as a serigraph, a screen-printed process with layered ink. That gives flatter, denser color than an offset poster, though it is still a reproduction of Nagel's artwork.
- What are the actual dimensions?
- The listing gives conflicting figures: a 36 x 24 inch overall size and a 42 x 34 inch size elsewhere. Measure the framed piece itself before planning wall space or shipping.
- Does it come framed?
- Yes, it is sold in its original frame with a double matte. Inspect the frame and matte for wear, since original framing from the 1980s may need replacing.
- Is it a good investment?
- Treat it as decorative. Posthumous commemorative posters trade on Nagel's style, not on scarcity, and signed limited-edition serigraphs hold value better.
- Who is it for?
- Collectors of 1980s design and Nagel fans who want a large, framed period piece. It is not for buyers seeking a hand-signed original.
- Where is the Patrick Nagel (American, 1945-1984) Commemorative #10 Exhibition Poster cheapest?
