Dollar sign I

Dollar Sign I by Andy Warhol focuses on a single, oversized dollar symbol painted in bold black, gold, and red against a flat blue background. The form is rough and expressive, with visible brushstrokes and drips that make the symbol feel physical and almost aggressive. The subject is money as a cultural force. By isolating the dollar sign and treating it like a portrait, Warhol turns wealth into an icon, something instantly recognizable and emotionally charged. The painting suggests both attraction and criticism, showing how money dominates attention, desire, and meaning in modern society.
