Pop Art – Hilger/Zwingenberger GR2-12. - Eines von 199 Exemplaren. - Herausgegeben von Galerie Ernst Hilger, Wien 2012. - Gedruckt bei Carini, S. Giovanni Valdarno. - Indem Ramos den weiblichen Akt mit dem stilisierten Hasen-Logo überlagert, macht er einen Mechanismus sichtbar, den er zugleich zitiert und unterläuft: Die Frau verschmilzt mit der Marke, der Körper wird zur Ware, und die Ware wird zum Körper.

Pop Art – Colour etching on Rives Velin (with watermark). Signed and numbered. Mounted in places. Overall in very good condition and clean. A magnificent, finely contoured print with a chalky appearance, featuring the printer's margin on the left. - One of 199 copies. - Edited by Ernst Hilger, Vienna 2012. - By superimposing the female nude onto the stylised rabbit logo, Ramos reveals a mechanism that he both references and subverts: the woman merges with the brand, the body becomes a commodity, and the commodity becomes the body.
