Mel Ramos
1935 Sacramento - 2018 Oakland

He was an American artist and is considered a significant representative of Pop Art. As a student of Wayne Thiebaud, Mel Ramos was close to the so-called Bay Area Figurative School, which diverged from the then-prevailing Abstract Expressionism in the United States starting in the 1950s. In 1961, Mel Ramos began painting comic figures such as Batman, Superman, or The Spectre.

Mel Ramos is considered one of the most important contemporary artists internationally.

Artist posters are posters designed by visual artists (in the traditional sense) primarily for self-promotion, such as announcing their exhibition in a museum or gallery. These posters are usually printed and distributed in small editions (typically around 100 to 200 copies).

Especially artist-signed posters are very rare to find and offer collectors an ultimate investment with great potential for value appreciation.

By the latest in its own art field, dedicated poster museums emerged in the 1960s and 1970s in the USA and Europe, and major museums like the Modern Art Museum or Guggenheim Museum in New York dedicated exhibitions solely to artist posters, whose importance is also reflected in the poster catalogues of many great artists.
