Description
Original "Leather Cap" painting Pinup by illustrator Patrick Nagel.
Acrylic on board. 8.25" x 12". Framed to 20.75" x 25"
Created for Playboy Magazine the month before he died in January. It was in his studio at the time of his death in February 1984. The last Playboy creation that but never made it probably the last finished board painting. It was never mailed in to Playboy. I have a copy of the reference photo he personally shot with Playmate Model Heidi Sorenson. The blonde hair behind her ears is BLONDE. This is extremely rare for Nagel to make a blonde.
Stamped Dumas 1984 on recto. (Dumas is Nagel's widow). Because Playboy didn't officially get it, luckily this one was not caught up in the Playboy lawsuit with the estate over ownership and rights. This image was the Invitation and used as one of only 3 images chosen to become limited edition giclees in a series released with estate stamps for the iconic 2007 Nagel Retrospective in 2007. Published in numerous ads for the Estate Exhibition.
Published most recently in beautiful hardback for the Patrick Nagel: A Reflection of the '80s book released August 2022 by Samuel Vanhoegaerden Gallery. p. 253.
