Mel Ramos Art
American, 1935-2018
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.(Biography provided by Hamilton-Selway Fine Art)

Untitled from Doctors of the World Portfolio, hand signed & numbered Pop realism

Chuck Close
Untitled Daguerreotypes, 2001
Two (2) pigmented digital output iris prints from daguerroeotype printed in a single sheet of wove paper
22 × 29 1/4 inches
Signed in pencil, dated and numbered on the front from the edition of 100
Unframed
The present work is a pencil signed and numbered daguerreotype that is part of the 2001 “Doctors of the World” series. Close has said “I’m not interested in daguerreotypes because it’s an antiquarian process, I like them because from my point of view, photography never got any better than it was in 1840… Photographs are often so big now that twenty or thirty people can view one at the same time, but a daguerreotype is the most intimate image made with a camera, because it is small and only one person can look at it.”

Offset Lithograph Poster for exhibition of photographs by Jim Dine

Signed boldly in white marker by Jim Dine on the front

Provenance: Jim Dine personally signed it for the present owner in 2012 at a special poetry reading that the artist gave at the Dia Art Foundation.
Extremely rare when hand signed!
This poster was produced in conjunction with a 2008 German exhibition of Jim Dine's photographs. Jim Dine personally signed it for the present owner in 2012 at a poetry reading that the artist gave at the Dia Art Foundation, so provenance is direct and impeccable. The text on the poster reads "This Is How I Remember Now Portraits", with a portrait of the artist juxtaposed in the background - and is perhaps as a commentary on the elusiveness of memory in life, art and photography. The poster is accompanied by a copy of the flyer publicizing the event where Jim Dine signed...
