About the Item

Mel Ramos 50 Years of Pop Art (Hand signed, dated and inscribed to Nadine by Mel Ramos), 2010 Softback monograph with dust jacket (hand signed, dated and inscribed by Mel Ramos) Hand signed, dated 3/10/12 and inscribed to Nadine by Mel Ramos on page 5. 8 1/4 × 6 1/2 × 1 1/4 inches Unframed The monograph with dust jacket and French folded flaps is Hand signed, dated 3/10/12 and inscribed to Nadine by Mel Ramos on page 5. This catalogue is published in conjunction with the exhibition Mel Ramos: 50 Years of Pop Art at Kunsthalle Tubingen from January 23 to April 25, 2010. Publisher's blurb: Like his fellow Pop painters Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein, Mel Ramos (born 1935) derives the motifs for his work from mass media and advertising. In bold and immediately recognizable canvases, he unites consumer goods with idealized pin-up girls modeled after magazine images dating from the 1950s and 1960s. Ramos immortalizes these models' lascivious poses by entwining them with the featured products in what he calls "commercial pin-ups." This monograph illustrates and discusses many of these works, but also provides insight into the artist's multifaceted oeuvre by presenting more than 100 works, from his first portraits of people, comic heroes and heroines, and his prominent pin-up girls, to his latest works from the Galatea series. Celebrating the artist's 75th birthday, this catalogue accompanies a major European retrospective, the first to unite Ramos' drawings, paintings and sculptures. Book information: Publisher ‏ : ‎ Hatje Cantz (2010) Hardcover ‏ : ‎ 280 pages with color and bw illustrations About Mel Ramos: Melvin J. Ramos (b. 1935, Sacramento, California; d. 2018, Oakland, California) spent six decades experimenting with Pop imagery and the female form. Internationally acclaimed for his ironic depictions of female nudes that are incongruously coupled with branded objects, Ramos’ work has been exhibited throughout the United States as well as internationally. Evolving from his early Pop portraits of comic book heroines in the 1960s, Ramos’ later series humorously explored the idealization and depiction of the female form in art, fashion and advertising. Ramos’ paintings are in numerous permanent collections, including the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Whitney Museum of American Art; and the Hirshhorn Museum in Washington, DC, amongst others.
