Biography
Mel Ramos (1935–2018) is considered 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 products such as chocolate, cigarettes, or beverages. Ramos studied art at Sacramento State College in California and was closely associated with Pop Art luminaries like 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 high attention, particularly his limited-edition silkscreens and lithographs, which appeal to a broad collector audience.

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