Biography
Mel Ramos (1935–2018) is regarded as one of the most important American Pop Art artists. He became known for his humorous and provocative depictions of pin-up girls, which he often paired with brand-name products such as chocolate, cigarettes, or beverages. Ramos studied art at California’s Sacramento State College and was closely associated with Pop Art legends 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 prints attract much attention, particularly his limited screenprints and lithographs, which appeal to a broad collecting audience.

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