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
