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, often pairing them 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 combine 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 high attention, especially his limited screenprints and lithographs, which appeal to a broad collector audience.
