Biography
Mel Ramos (1935–2018) is regarded as one of the most significant American Pop Art artists. He became known for his humorous and provocative depictions of pin-up girls, which he often combined with brand-name products such as chocolate, cigarettes, or beverages.
Ramos studied art at Sacramento State College in California and was closely associated with the giants of Pop Art, such as Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, and Tom Wesselmann. His works fuse consumer critique with erotic imagery and today are represented in major museums as well as international private collections.
In the art market, Ramos’s paintings and graphics attract strong attention, especially his limited edition silkscreens and lithographs, which appeal to a broad collector audience.
