    July 24, 1935 in Sacramento, CA

    Mel Ramos received his first important recognition in the early 1960s; since 1959 he has
    participated in more than 120 group shows. Along with Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol, he

    and working alternately in Oakland, California and in Horta de San Juan in Spain.
