Pop Art – Eines von 99 Exemplaren. - Objektbuch anlässlich der Ausstellung "Superman im Supermarkt | Superman at the Supermarket", Galery Levy, Hamburg. - Hrsg. v. ebd. - Zum 80. Geburtstag des Künstlers. - Ramos, Pop Art-Künstler der ersten Stunde, entwickelt ab den 1960er Jahren eine Bildsprache aufreizender Natur, in der unbekleidete weibliche Figuren und Hollywoodstars kombiniert mit Konsumgütern aus der Warenwelt, z.B. Coca Cola, Chiquita und Campbells, in knalligen, bunten Farben und spielerischer Formenvielfalt aufeinander treffen. Der Werbeästhetik medial verbreiteter Zeitschriften und Reklamen folgend, werden die Frauenfiguren in erotischen Haltungen positioniert und offenbaren ein Werbemuster, das das Anpreisen des Objekts zeigt. Ramos zitiert die Werbebranche, den Fetisch des Objekts und stellt ebendiese im selben Moment ironisierend zur Schau. - 2015 wird in der Levy Galerie ein Supermarkt aufgebaut, der sämtliche Artikel, die Ramos' Bilder zeigen, ausstellt. Der artist shop, in den high und low culture miteinander verschmelzen, thematisiert den Akt des Kaufens und Verkaufens und versetzt die Grenzen von Kunst und Ware, Beobachter und Konsument.

Pop Art – 20 colour offset lithographs. In bolted linen folder. Signed and numbered in the imprint. - All in all very good. - One of 99 copies. - Object book accompanying the exhibition Superman at the Supermarket', Galery Levy, Hamburg. - Publ. by ibid. - On the occasion of the artist's 80th birthday. - Ramos, pop art artist from the very beginning, developes a provocative visual language in the 1960s, combining naked female figures and Hollywood stars with consumer goods like Coca Cola, Chiquita and Campbells in bright, colourful colours and a playful variety of forms. Following the advertising aesthetics of magazines, the female figures are positioned in erotic poses and reveal an advertising pattern that shows the promotion of the object. Ramos quotes the advertising industry and the fetishisation of the object, while at the same time displaying them ironically. In 2015, a supermarket is set up in the Levy Gallery, displaying all the items featured in Ramos's pictures. The artist shop, in which high and low culture merge, addresses the act of buying and selling and shifts the boundaries between art and merchandise, observer and consumer.
