We’re happy to announce a major exhibition dedicated to the legendary American Pop artist Mel Ramos (1935–2018), opening in Venice during the 2026 Biennale.
Presented by Ronald Harrar in collaboration with the Estate of Mel Ramos and curated by Elisa Carollo, the exhibition brings together a comprehensive survey spanning nearly six decades of Ramos’s work — from early paintings to his iconic compositions merging classical figuration with the visual language of American advertising and consumer culture.
At a moment when image culture defines our global consciousness, this exhibition reexamines Ramos’s legacy and his enduring impact on contemporary art.
This project has been years in the making, and it is an honor to bring this historic presentation to Venice.
Opening hours:
Monday – Sunday, 10 am – 7 pm
Free admission
