About Patrick Nagel: Patrick Nagel's artwork bridged the gap between traditional fine art and contemporary aesthetics, and achieved an almost unprecedented popularity throughout the 1980s. During his lifetime, Patrick Nagel completed more than sixty graphics editions and posters, numerous commemorative editions, and countless high-profile commissions, including the album cover for Duran Duran's 1983 RIO, which became the number one album in the world.
