Biography
Mel Ramos (1935–2018) is regarded as one of the most significant American Pop Art artists. He gained fame for his humorous and provocative depictions of pin-up girls, which he often combined with brand products such as chocolate, cigarettes, or beverages. Ramos studied art at Sacramento State College in California and was closely associated with Pop Art luminaries such as Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, and Tom Wesselmann. His works fuse 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 graphics attract considerable attention, particularly his limited-edition screenprints and lithographs, which appeal to a broad collector audience.
The print has always been stored flat and is only rolled briefly for transport.
