I'm currently looking to buy one or two Patrick Nagel prints.
I've been to four Stockholm galleries and none of them have any Nagels.
Only one of the four clerks even recognized the name. Said they had a lot of them in the 80's but haven't seen them since.

So now I'm thinking of buying them over the interweb instead.
Screw these vendors that don't recognize a retro wave when they see one.

I found some Nagel here, but it seems way too pricey. Haven't mailed them yet, but considering their clients are airports and film studios...

Anyhow, I wondered if any of you people had bought stoupfh like this over the internet, and if so, could you recommend any sites that have average prices and deliver internationally? And carry Patrick Nagel, of course.

I'm literally at the end of my pants here (sic).

Not to disparage Flare's fine readership (including myself), but considering the dominant demographic, I suspect most of the art purchased here is in poster form.

I'd quote from the Buffy episode "The Freshmen" regarding students and art, but I can't remember it. So I won't.

This was a fairly pointless post, wasn't it?

Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

Got answer from the gallery I linked to. 250$ up to several thousands, depending on which print I want. So no deal...

But I'm up for posters too, if you have any tips...
