ARTWORK IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.
In his Dollar Sign paintings and prints of 1981, Warhol returned to a powerful symbol thathad first appeared in several of his Pop works from the early 1960s. In 1962, in his first use of the silkscreeen process, he produced several paintings of the one-dollar bills. For these later works, Warhol reduced th broad idea of money down to it s most elemental symbol, in the same way that he had earlier used his Guns, Knives, and Crosses paintings as symbols for violence in contemporary society. Warhol madeeveral versions of the dollar Signs, from small, single image to large canvases with the image printed in multiple rows. These paintings are powerful reminders of the economics of the art world and the shifting value of the work by famous artists.
