Mel Ramos
Mel Ramos’s provocative, humorous paintings mix idealized nude women with the imagery of popular culture—Coca Cola bottles, movie posters, and the like. A prolific artist from his emergence in the 1960s onward, Ramos has often based his nudes on the female celebrities of the day, from Marilyn Monroe to Scarlett Johansson. His style references the sensuality and glossy flatness of pin-ups and Playboy spreads and has drawn the ire of feminists and art critics alike, despite Ramos’s assertion that his works are “apolitical”. Though clearly aligned with Pop art in his appropriation of imagery from mass media and consumer products, Ramos calls his practice rooted in Surrealism and its emphasis on “absurd conjunctions”—in his case, a beautiful nude woman emerging from a Snickers wrapper or lounging seductively in a banana split.

- Erotellica, 1974, Lithograph, Pop, Nouveau RealismeBy Mimmo RotellaLocated in Milano, ITFrom a series of pop lithographs by Mimmo Rotella, published by Plura Edizioni, Italy, dating back to the early 1970s. Signed and numbered in pencil on the front. Edition 60/80 copies. Opera Proveniente da collezione privata, Italia. The piece is accompanied by a certificate of provenance issued by the gallery. Le condizioni dell'opera sono per lo più perfette: nessuna traccia del tempo, nessun graffio e margini perfettamente conservati. Il pezzo viaggia senza cornice per avere una spedizione più economica e sicura su richiesta dell'acquirente. Poiché il pezzo viaggia dall'Italia, si prega di considerare che l'espletamento delle pratiche di esportazione richiede un minimo di una settimana dal momento dell'acquisto. Mimmo Rotella, che ha rappresentato l'Italia alla Biennale di Venezia del 1964, è stato sperimentale fino in fondo: nelle sue poesie, nei suoi dipinti, nelle sue fotografie, nei suoi assemblaggi scultorei e nei suoi collage ha abbattuto le convenzioni, lasciando dietro di sé un corpus di opere stravaganti. All'inizio degli anni Cinquanta dipinge astrazioni geometriche, poi si allontana dal suo studio e si rivolge al mondo che lo circonda. Lì trovò i manifesti pubblicitari e cinematografici deteriorati, che strappò dalle pareti, attaccò alle tele e strappò ulteriormente per sviluppare composizioni semi-astratte dalle immagini dei mass media, che chiamò "doppi décollages". Grazie ai suoi collage, è stato associato a Raymond Hains, Jacques Villeglé e François Dufrêne...Category
