Goga Groups - Henry Ramos

Henry A. J. Ramos was raised in Santa Monica, California and educated at U.C. Berkeley and Harvard University. His artistic work significantly reflects his west coast origins. During his high school years in the late 1970s, he directed a school-based mural project that was recognized by the City and County of Los Angeles for bringing together a multicultural group of students to celebrate cultural diversity. Ramos's own works have shown subsequently in exhibitions at Los Angeles's ARCO Plaza, the Friedrich Ebert Foundation in Bonn, Germany, Anarte Gallery in San Antonio, Texas, the Gallery of Graphic Arts in New York, and the ABC Kunstgallerie in Berlin, Germany. In recent years he has sold numerous originals to private collectors in New York, Los Angeles, Seattle, and Lausanne, Switzerland; and businesses and institutions where his works appear include the Ford Foundation, Carnegie Corporation of New York, and the IW Group. In addition to his artistic pursuits, Ramos is an accomplished author, civil rights historian, and advisor to leading U.S. philanthropies.
