- Is the signature hand-signed by Patrick Nagel?
- No. The signature is screen-printed as part of the silkscreen image. Nagel died in 1984, and this 1986 print was issued posthumously by Mirage Editions.
- How many were made?
- The edition size is 5,000. That is large for a Nagel print, so it is widely available and not rare.
- What paper and printing method are used?
- It is a silkscreen on 100% cotton archival rag paper, which gives flat, saturated color and good longevity if kept out of direct sun.
- What are the dimensions?
- The paper is 24 x 36 inches. Framed examples are commonly around 29 x 40 inches or 33 x 43 inches depending on the frame and mat.
- Is it a good investment?
- Generally no. The large edition and printed signature keep values modest; buy it for the image and decor, not appreciation.
- How should I care for it?
- Keep it out of direct sunlight and damp rooms. If reframing, ask for UV-filtering glass and acid-free matting to protect the paper.
