TUBINGEN.- The Kunsthalle Tübingen presents the largest Ramos exhibition in Germany and even Europe with 89 works on art on loan from around the world. This is the most comprehensive retrospective worldwide ever dedicated to the important American painter, Mel Ramos. Two anniversaries mark this occasion, namely, the 75th birthday of the artist and the over 50 year existence of the Pop Art movement of which Mel Ramos is a main representative. This comprehensive sweep of his life´s work, which is characterized by the subject of nude art, encompasses mainly paintings, but also preliminary sketches, sculptures, and lithographs. All phases from the late 1950´s to the present are represented by well-known major works. The rich program accompanying this exhibit is the result of a collaboration with other institutions
