Ro Gallery: International Art Dealers for 25+ Years

Director, Robert Rogal

Rogallery has been in the art business for over 25 years and on the internet since 1994. Selling Art is our only business and we sell only original art works. We operate out of our own 10,000 sq ft building in New York City, having bought out several publishers, other galleries and many important collections over the years. Our inventory includes over 400 artists and is growing all the time. We were also one of the Charter Members of the Sothebys.com seller program. You can be assured that we are offering only works that we can authenticate. If we cannot be sure of the authorship of a work, we will let you know this beforehand as part of the description, not after you purchase it. We issue Certificates of Authenticity with all original artworks. Certificates do not apply to posters.

If you have any questions at all about our auctions, about selling or consigning, art you are looking for, authentication, appraisals (verbal and written) please feel free to call us on our toll-free line 1-800-888-1063. You are welcome to make an appointment to view the piece(s) in person before buying.

We also offer professional framing on all works whether you purchased it from us or not.

Thank you for looking and good luck!

1935 Born: July 24, Sacramento, CA

Though primarily a figurative painter, Mel Ramos has experimented freely with realist and abstract art forms for the past twenty years. A few of his works, such as the ones here, embody both formats. This combination works to enhance the detail and feature of each format while detracting from the duality of the image making it wholly singular. The popularity of his works is evident in the fact that since 1959 he has participated in more than 120 group shows. Born in Sacramento, Calif. in 1935 he has enjoyed great success and critical acclaim as an adventuresome artist with the creativity and sense of humor it takes to remain on top. Mel Ramos received his first important recognition in the early 1960s. Ramos, along with other artists such as Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Claes Oldenburg and James Rosenquist, produced art works that celebrated aspects of popular culture as represented in mass media. His paintings were shown along with theirs in major exhibitions of Pop Art both in this country and in Europe and were reproduced, often with irony, in books, catalogs, and periodicals throughout the world.
