“Martín Ramírez: The Last Works” shines new light on an artist now revered as one of the masters of the twentieth century. A cache of previously unknown drawings was recently discovered in a garage in California and will be concurrently exhibited at the Ricco/Maresca Gallery and the American Folk Art Museum. Created during the last three years of Ramírez’s life, these works continue his innovative examination of line and subject matter coupled with a bolder use of color and a greater degree of abstraction.
     Accompanying the exhibition is a full-color catalogue, Martín Ramírez: The Last Works, with essays by Brooke Davis Anderson, Richard Rodriguez, and Wayne Thiebaud.

Ricco/Maresca Gallery is the exclusive representative of the Estate of Martín Ramírez.
