Single $ (Orange)
by Andy Warhol
Year: 1981
Medium: Acrylic on canvas
Size: 90 x 70 in (228.6 x 177.8 cm)
Signed
Monumental in scale, Andy Warhol’s Single $ (Orange) (1981) elevates the dollar sign into a vivid emblem of wealth, desire, and American consumer culture. Executed in acrylic on canvas, this imposing 90 × 70-inch work commands attention through its bold simplicity. Signed by Warhol, it offers collectors a striking example of his celebrated money imagery and a significant statement within late Pop Art.
Single $ (Orange) belongs to Andy Warhol’s celebrated Dollar Sign imagery, developed in the early 1980s as he explored money, fame, commerce, and American ambition. Warhol transformed the familiar currency symbol into a Pop icon, giving an everyday mark the same visual status as celebrities and consumer brands.
There is no original street-graffiti version. Warhol created the Dollar Sign works through his studio silkscreen practice, not public-wall painting. Their bold scale, flat colour, and graphic clarity, however, have a natural connection to the visual language of street art.
The dollar sign becomes a symbol of wealth, desire, status, and power. The orange ground adds warmth and energy, while the repeated visual logic suggests the endless circulation of money and the way value can be manufactured through images.
For collectors, Single $ (Orange) offers strong appeal within Warhol’s late-career market. Colour, edition, condition, signature, and provenance are key factors in assessing rarity and long-term desirability.
From our gallery experience, the work has exceptional display power. Its message is immediate, but its meaning deepens with time: money becomes both subject and cultural symbol.
The piece connects to Warhol’s Dollar Sign and Money works, while extending ideas first seen in his Campbell’s Soup and Coca-Cola imagery. For collectors seeking a bold, recognisable Warhol with strong cultural and commercial resonance, Single $ (Orange) is an excellent choice.
