Single $ Red
by Andy Warhol
Year: 1981
Medium: Acrylic on canvas
Size: 10 x 8 in (25.4 x 20.32 cm)
Signed
With striking economy, Andy Warhol’s Single $ Red (1981) distils his enduring fascination with money, desire, and American consumer culture. This signed 10 × 8-inch acrylic on canvas transforms the dollar symbol into a potent emblem of value and aspiration. Its intimate scale, singular composition, and direct connection to Warhol’s celebrated money imagery make it an especially appealing work for discerning collectors.
Single $ Red distills one of Andy Warhol’s most powerful ideas: money itself can become a cultural icon. Emerging from his 1980s Dollar Sign imagery, the work transforms the familiar dollar symbol into a bold Pop image, reflecting America’s fascination with wealth, commerce, status, and desire.
There is no original street-graffiti version. Warhol developed these works through his studio silkscreen practice, not public-wall painting. Its oversized graphic form and vivid red field, however, give it the direct visual impact that strongly connects with later street art.
The dollar sign works on several levels. It represents wealth and ambition, but also repetition, consumer culture, and the endless circulation of money. The red adds urgency, energy, and visual heat, making the symbol feel almost like a brand.
For collectors, Single $ Red has strong appeal because Warhol’s dollar imagery sits among his most recognizable late subjects. Rarity, edition details, condition, colour, and provenance can significantly influence demand and market value.
From our gallery experience, its strength is immediate: you understand the image in a second, yet it keeps revealing ideas about value and power.
The work belongs to Warhol’s late career and relates to his Dollar Sign, Money, and other consumer-focused imagery. For collectors seeking a bold Warhol with commercial and cultural resonance, Single $ Red is an especially compelling choice.
