$ (F & S. II 277)
By turning the dollar sign itself into art, Warhol draws attention to the intersection of art, commerce, and value.
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. The Dollar Sign portfolio was created during a period marked by economic growth, the rise of Wall Street culture, and the increasing commodification of art. Warhol’s choice of the dollar sign as his subject matter aligns with the era’s fascination with wealth and consumerism. Warhol masterfully transforms an international and political symbol of US currency into his Pop Art canon, suggesting consumerism is just as iconic as Marilyn Monroe. As Arthur Danto stated,‘Warhol’s dollar sign is as much an emblem of America as the flag’.
The portfolio continues to resonate in today’s art world, where the financial value of art often eclipses its intrinsic meaning. Warhol's Dollar Sign series can be interpreted as a critique—or perhaps an embrace—of the art market, which treats artworks as luxury goods. By turning the dollar sign itself into art, Warhol draws attention to the intersection of art, commerce, and value.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. -
