Hello, this item is a work attributed to Andy Warhol, titled “Dollar Sign,” executed in acrylic and marker on fine paper, measuring 18 ¾ x 13 inches. The composition aligns stylistically with Warhol’s Dollar Sign series from the early 1980s, where he transformed the U.S. currency symbol into an emblem of consumerism and personal branding. The bold red brushwork, black contouring, and gestural spontaneity are consistent with Warhol’s aesthetic vocabulary of repetition, irony, and commodification.

Authenticity, however, is critical for valuation. While the artwork reportedly includes a Certificate of Authenticity from The Estate of Andy Warhol signed by Frederick Hughes, inconsistencies such as the mixed date (1981 vs. 1986), printed rather than hand signature, and acquisition via a dealer’s NFT giveaway warrant careful scrutiny. The Andy Warhol Art Authentication Board ceased operations in 2012, and verification today depends on provenance, physical inspection, and comparative analysis with the Warhol Catalogue Raisonné.

If authenticated as an original Warhol on paper, the estimated fair market value would fall between $85,000 and $120,000 USD, depending on medium and condition. If determined to be a reproduction or estate-authorized facsimile, its decorative or collectible value would instead be around $800 to $1,500 USD. Authentication through a recognized Warhol specialist or The Andy Warhol Museum Archives is recommended to confirm status.
