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 branded products such as chocolate, cigarettes, or beverages. Ramos studied art at California’s Sacramento State College and was closely associated with Pop Art luminaries such as Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, and Tom Wesselmann. His works blend consumer critique with erotic imagery and are today represented in major museums as well as international private collections. In the art market, Ramos’s paintings and prints attract considerable attention, particularly his limited silkscreens and lithographs, which appeal to a broad collector audience.

The print has always been stored flat and will be rolled briefly only for transport.
