$ (F & S. II 286)
Arthur Danto observed, “Warhol’s dollar sign is as much an emblem of America as the flag.”
Andy Warhol once remarked, “Making money is art and working is art and good business is the best art.” This sentiment captures his embrace of consumer culture, a theme vividly expressed in his Dollar Sign series, created in 1982. The dollar sign functions as both an artistic motif and a status symbol, reflecting the intersection of art, commerce, and value in American society. As Arthur Danto observed, “Warhol’s dollar sign is as much an emblem of America as the flag.” The bright colours of this print further evoke a distinctly American ethos, emphasising its connection to capitalism and commercialism.
The print features the dollar sign, a domineering symbol of capitalism, which has become inseparable from American notions of wealth and consumerism. Danto’s comparison underscores how the dollar sign encapsulates the cultural identity of the Reagan-era economic boom. Warhol employed a combination of silkscreen printing and hand-drawn elements, blending mechanical precision with personal expression. This technique reinforces the tension between mass production and individuality, a hallmark of his work. By producing prints that mimic the manufacturing process of currency itself, Warhol unabashedly connects art with commodity, challenging traditional boundaries between the two. -
