Patricia Nix 'Coca-Cola' Totem 1997 Original (one of a kind)
Patricia Nix
Patricia Nix’s membership in the esteemed National Academy of Design defines her as one of the most highly respected oil painters in America. Her work is displayed throughout the world in prestigious public, corporate and university collections, including the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American Art and numerous other national museums. It has been reviewed by the major art publications and critics of the day and used as cover art on multiple books, journals, and other publications. But perhaps the most important endorsement of Patricia Nix comes from the many hundreds of discriminating private collectors around the world who have acquired her work, some paying amounts exceeding $100,000 to make an original Nix part of their everyday lives.
Her work embraces art history and draws on the major stylistic movements of our time, including cubism and surrealism. She has been hailed by critics as the successor to such disparate artists as Georgia O'Keefe and Joseph Cornell, and has exhibited with other contemporary masters including David Hockney, Willem De Kooning, Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol, Joseph Cornell, Louise Nevelson, Julian Schnabel, and Jim Dine.
Patricia Nix’s icons are currently selling for $30,000.
