Andy Warhol $ (F & S. II 274) For Sale

Created in 1982, Andy Warhol's Dollar Sign portfolio is a fascinating body of work that underscores his exploration of consumerism, wealth, and the symbolic power of money in American culture. Warhol once remarked, “Making money is art and working is art and good business is the best art.” This statement reflects his embrace of consumer culture, which is evident in his portrayal of the dollar sign as both an artistic motif and a status symbol. The dollar sign is a universal symbol of wealth, capitalism, and commercial success. Warhol, who openly celebrated the intersection of art and commerce, embraced this iconography to critique and glorify society's obsession with money.

The print depicts a domineering symbol of capitalism - the dollar sign. A symbol that has become so recognisable with American notions of commercialisation and capitalism that Arthur Danto stated,‘Warhol’s dollar sign is as much an emblem of America as the flag’. This portfolio can be seen as a zeitgeist of its time, as it encapsulates the Reagan commercial boom. Warhol employed silkscreen printing and hand-drawn elements for this print, allowing a blend of mechanical reproduction and personal expression. This mix reinforces the tension between the mass-produced and the unique in his work. The prints are manufactured in a way not so dissimilar to that of a dollar bill itself. Therefore, Warhol shamelessly connects art with commodity.
