Welcome. About me.

Swimmers, 1979 by Patrick Nagel

Welcome to PatrickNagelArts (aka SwimmersGirl) ! A Los Angeles-based collector and Nagel scholar, my love & passion for art illustrations from the 70s, 80s & 90s has me hunting to collect and preserve art for another 40 years! Tangible art that was the drawing board is now scarce, extremely valuable and an important part of our culture. I now turn my passion into opportunity for you who share this goal and want to collect original art and rare prints! I manage PatrickNagelArts on Instagram, where Duran Duran’s Rio model was first discovered in 2024.

A few ORIGINAL gems in my personal collection…

Growing up as kid in the 70s & 80s while living in Los Angeles, I experienced the LA airbrush scene of the 70s, the Nagel frenzy of the 80s, and later the return of the pinup with Olivia De Berardinis in Playboy.

Honeydew, 1999 Olivia De Berardinis


I have well over 50 Olivia artworks…But who is counting? If You Are Looking For ORIGINALS contact me.
