Dollar Sign is one of several pieces Andy Warhol made depicting a dollar sign during his career. Warhol made several of these dollar Signs each with its own unique feel. This particular Dollar Sign shows a black, gold-brown, solar sign on a white canvas. In the image, the black is taking over the gold-brown. There are several drips and splotches on the piece that make it appear unique in a series of several others. The black overtaking the gold could show the corruption of money. It could also signify how money is controlled by the wealthy, gold, and the powerful, black. The white background represents the everyday man that is being taken over by money and greed.
