Auctioning a unique graphite drawing, depicting a well toned Dollar sign, signed Andy Warhol in the lower margin and on verso. The artwork is marked and stamped on verso, these are presumably references to the previous collection. Some common aging of the media can be noticed. Size of the present artwork is 28.30 x 21.00 cm.
Andy Warhol pioneered a combination of avant-garde and highly commercial sensibilities that made him a founder and leading figure of Pop Art. Starting in the early 1960s, his work explored the relationship between advertising, fame and artistic expression through media including painting, silkscreen, sculpture, film and photography. By the time of his death he was one of the best-known artists the world had ever seen.
Composed of one or more stylized dollar signs, the works in Andy Warhol’s “Dollar Sign” series embody the artist’s philosophy on the relationship between art and commerce. Made using several techniques for a bold and textured look, Warhol’s “Dollar Signs” appear as if they were lifted from a sketchpad or scrawled across a receipt. Separated from currency and expanded to cartoonishly large proportions, the series equates art with money. Warhol’s work was often seen as both a barometer and a criticism of American culture—in much the same way that Warhol’s “Coca-Cola,” “Brillo Box,” and “Campbell’s Soup Cans” series criticized American consumerism in the 1960s, “Dollar Sign” reflects the growing American obsession with wealth and status in the 1980s
