DIAMOND LIFE: A tribute to legendary artist Patrick Nagel
7.20.13
Mermaid Tavern
Join us Saturday, July 20 at the award-winning Mermaid Tavern in Seminole Heights
for Diamond Life: A tribute to legendary artist Patrick Nagel, a fundraiser benefiting
Tempus Projects. Since 1974, when his work first achieved prominence in Playboy
magazine, the art of Patrick Nagel has been widely exhibited and collected. Best
known for his sultry illustrations, and album cover art for Duran Duran, Nagel’s iconic
images have become synonymous with the decadence of 1980s. Nagel died of a heart attack in 1984, at
the age of 38, after participating in a 15-minute celebrity "Aerobathon" to raise funds
for the American Heart Association. Nagel prints are exhibited for this one-night event
and available via silent auction. Limited edition Tempus/Nagel T-shirts, pin-back
buttons and totes are available for purchase, as well as your chance to win great 80’s
inspired gifts from our generous sponsors.
