Medium: Screenprint

At once familiar and provocative, Andy Warhol’s Single $ Yellow (1982) distils his fascination with wealth, commerce, and the symbols of American consumer culture. This 19 × 15-inch screenprint gives the dollar sign a vivid, commanding presence through Warhol’s signature Pop Art language. Signed by the artist, the work offers collectors a refined example of his celebrated currency imagery, combining graphic impact with enduring cultural relevance.
Single $ (Yellow) belongs to Andy Warhol’s iconic Dollar Sign imagery, developed in the early 1980s as the artist increasingly explored money as both subject and symbol. The work has no authentic street-graffiti version; Warhol’s Dollar Sign compositions were created in his studio through silkscreen and painting, not as public-wall interventions. The bright yellow ground gives the familiar symbol an almost advertising-like force, turning currency into a visual icon.
For collectors, Warhol’s Dollar Sign works are highly recognizable and important within his late career. Rarity, edition status, provenance, condition, and colorway can all affect demand and market value. A strong example offers an immediate Pop Art statement with lasting investment appeal.
From a curator’s perspective, the yellow is crucial. It makes the dollar sign feel optimistic and seductive while also exposing the culture of consumption behind it.
The work fits Warhol’s mature Pop Art practice, alongside his Dollar Sign, Mao, celebrity portraits, and other images of mass culture. Like his earlier Campbell’s Soup imagery, it transforms an everyday symbol into a powerful collectible—and remains a compelling choice for collectors seeking a distinctive Warhol.
