The History of Silhouettes
The art of silhouette cutting originated in Europe in the early 1700 s. Prior to the French revolution, silhouettists were hired as an amusement for the royal class. The featured artist would attend the many extravagant balls and cut out the distinguished profiles of the Lords and Ladies capturing the latest fashions and elaborate wigs.
While the aristocrats were having their silhouettes cut out and eating like kings much of Europe was starving, especially in France. In the 1760 s the Finance Minister of France, Etienne de Silhouette, had crippled the French people with his merciless tax polices. Oblivious to his people s plight, Etienne was much more interested in his hobby of cutting out paper profiles, the latest fad. Etienne de Silhouette was so despised by the people of France that in protest the peasant s wore only black mimicking his black paper cutouts.

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.
