WITH MOST NAGEL EDITIONS THERE WERE SEPARATE PLATE SIGNED EDITIONS AND HAND SIGNED EDITIONS. IN THIS CASE, THE EDITION OF 275 WERE SIGNED IN THE PLATE AND ALSO HAND SIGNED BY NAGEL FOR THE NY ART EXPO.

THE CATALOG RAISONNE FOR NAGEL ARTWORK TITLED. THE ART OF PATRICK NAGEL. ALFRED VAN DER MARCK EDITIONS, 1987 REFERENCES THE HAND SIGNED EDITION BUT DOES NOT REFERENCE THE AMOUNT OUTSTANDING THAT ARE ONLY PLATE SIGNED. EXEMPLARS HAVE ALSO BEEN SEEN IN THE MARKETPLACE BEARING ONLY A PLATE SIGNATURE.

THEREFORE, THE EXACT AMOUNT OF PLATE SIGNED LITHOGRAPHS IN THE EDITION IS UNKNOWN, HOWEVER, PLATE SIGNED EXEMPLARS EXIST BASED ON SIMILAR EDITIONS WHICH NAGEL CREATED. BECAUSE THE CATALOG RAISONNE ONLY REFERENCES A HAND SIGNED EDITION IT APPEARS THIS IS THE ONLY EDITION THAT WAS DESIGNED TO HAVE TWO SIGNATURES. ULTIMATELY, IT IS THE HAND SIGNED WORKS BY NAGEL THAT ARE EXTREMELY RARE AND CONSIDERED FINE ART INVESTMENTS WHICH WILL APPRECIATE AS LONG-TERM ASSETS FOR GENERATIONS TO COME. DIMENSIONS: THE VISIBLE SHEET IS AN IMPRESSIVE 28 X 17 INCHES PRINTED TO THE BORDER WITH NO MARGINS. THE ARTWORK CANNOT BE ROLLED DUE TO THE HEAVY STOCK PAPER.
