The Pace Gallery, New York; Louis K. Meisel Gallery, New York; From the Estate of Charles Martignette.
Mel Ramos (American, 1935-2018) Sheena, Queen of the Jungle, 1963 Oil on canvas 30 x 26 inches (76.2 x 66.0 cm) (sight) Not signed Property from the Louis and Susan Meisel Collection PROVENANCE: The Pace Gallery, New York; Louis K. Meisel Gallery, New York; From the Estate of Charles Martignette. 1963's Sheena is one of the most significant works from the early career of Mel Ramos. Dating to the moment when Ramos began to explore the relationship between mass-cultural production and the erotic, Sheena is part of a series of 13 works the artist created that juxtaposed branding, appropriation, and pin-up. These works are where Ramos found his signature subject, and the provocative insight of this canvas stands to this day. The work appears as a color plate on page 54 of Mel Ramos Popart Fantasies by Donald Kuspit and Louis K. Meisel (Watson-Guptill Publications, 2004).
