Description

"New Wave Mona Lisa"

Rio album signed on the front cover in black felt tip, "They all say this is the image of the 'New Wave Mona Lisa,' or the girl with the 'Cherry Ice Cream Smile,' but it's just me! Marcie Hunt." In very fine condition. The record is included.

The album cover for Rio was designed by popular illustrator Patrick Nagel, but the model's identity remained a mystery for years; in 2024, it was revealed that he based the artwork on a photograph of fashion model Marcie Hunt published in the February 1981 issue of Vogue France. Accompanied by a letter of provenance from Hunt.
