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, 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 blend consumer critique with erotic iconography and are today represented in major museums as well as international private collections. In the art market, Ramos’s paintings and prints attract strong attention, particularly his limited screenprints and lithographs, which appeal to a broad collector audience. The print has always been stored flat and will be rolled briefly only for transport.
