$ (F & S. II 284)
Warhol himself encapsulated this philosophy, stating, “I like money on the wall. Say you were going to buy a painting. I think you should take that money, tie it up, and put it on the wall. Then when someone visited you, the first thing they would see is money on the wall.”
Created in 1982, Andy Warhol's Dollar Sign portfolio is a compelling exploration of consumerism, wealth, and the symbolic power of money in American culture. Emerging during a period of economic expansion, the rise of Wall Street, and the increasing commodification of art, the series reflects the era’s obsession with wealth and consumerism. By incorporating the dollar sign—a universal and politically charged emblem of U.S. currency—into his Pop Art repertoire, Warhol elevates consumerism to the same iconic status as his depictions of Marilyn Monroe. As art critic Arthur Danto observed, “Warhol’s dollar sign is as much an emblem of America as the flag.”
The Dollar Sign portfolio also serves as a self-referential commentary on Warhol’s own success as a commercially driven artist. By the 1980s, Warhol had become a celebrity figure whose name and work were intrinsically tied to monetary value. The dollar sign in this context functions as a meta-commentary on how art, especially Warhol’s, had transformed into an asset class—a symbol of financial speculation and exchange. Warhol himself encapsulated this philosophy, stating, “I like money on the wall. Say you were going to buy a painting. I think you should take that money, tie it up, and put it on the wall. Then when someone visited you, the first thing they would see is money on the wall.”
