Andy Warhol’s Dollar art

Andy Warhol’s Dollar art

Money first caught Warhol’s attention in the early ‘60s, when he began drawing images of one and two dollar bills that he would eventually silk-screen on canvas, both singly and serially. Returning to the subject in 1981, Warhol isolated the symbol denoting “dollars” – the “Dollar Sign” – and made this the focus of the artwork, silk-screening multiple “$” in vivid colors one over another.
In October 2022 one of Warhol’s Dollar signs was sold at auction for £603,300
