Understanding Warhol’s 1982 Dollar Signs editions
Warhol’s Dollar Signs prints are also catalogued under the symbol $. The published screenprints covered here span Feldman & Schellmann II.274–286, across several separate formats. They do not all share the same edition size or dimensions.
1982
Screenprint on Lenox Museum Board
Published by Andy Warhol, New York
Printed by Rupert Jasen Smith, New York
F&S II.274–286
Edition sizes and sheet dimensions vary by format
The series turns the currency symbol into the entire subject: a direct connection between art and money. Layered color and drawn marks give the signs an energetic, handmade appearance. Crucially for owners, unique color combinations occur within the numbered editions; uniqueness does not necessarily mean a trial proof or a painting.
Compare the Dollar Signs Screenprint formats
These examples illustrate the main formats. Colors vary between impressions, so your print may look different from the example shown. Images are displayed at a consistent height for comparison and do not represent the works’ relative physical sizes.
F&S II.274–279
F&S II.280
F&S II.281–282
F&S II.283–284
F&S II.285–286
Single dollar signs: F&S II.274–279
A six-print portfolio of individual dollar symbols, issued in an edition of 60, plus 10 artist’s proofs. Sheets measure approximately 19¾ × 15⅝ inches (50.2 × 39.7 cm). The prints were produced in unique color combinations, with printer’s proofs and trial proofs also documented.
Separate single dollar sign: F&S II.280
A separate single-sign issue, approximately 20 × 16 inches (50.8 × 40.6 cm), in an edition of 25 unique variants. It should not be confused with the six-print portfolio above. Signature and numbering can appear on the reverse, as documented in a catalogued example.
Four dollar signs: F&S II.281–282
A two-print portfolio showing four signs on each sheet, issued in an edition of 35, plus 10 artist’s proofs. Sheets measure approximately 40 × 32 inches (101.6 × 81.3 cm). Impressions are unique color variants.
Dollar Sign Quadrant: F&S II.283–284
A two-print portfolio with four signs arranged against separate fields of color. The edition is 60, plus 10 artist’s proofs, with unique color combinations. Sheets measure approximately 40 × 32 inches (101.6 × 81.3 cm).
Nine dollar signs: F&S II.285–286
A two-print portfolio with nine signs arranged in a three-by-three grid. The edition is 35, plus 10 artist’s proofs, with unique color combinations. Sheets measure approximately 40 × 32 inches (101.6 × 81.3 cm).
Signatures, numbering and unique color variants
Published edition examples are signed and numbered in pencil, with artist’s copyright stamps and printer’s markings documented. Check both sides: the location of the signature, numbering and stamps depends on the particular work. Photograph every marking available to you.
The F&S reference identifies the catalogued work or group. An inscription such as 17/60 records an impression’s place within a numbered edition. A.P. identifies an artist’s proof, P.P. a printer’s proof and T.P. a trial proof. Proof allocations vary by issue.
A unique Screenprint can still have an edition number
For Dollar Signs, “unique” often describes the individual color combination within a published edition. A print numbered out of 35 or 60 can therefore be a unique color variant. Different colors alone do not establish trial-proof status, and a proof inscription alone does not establish authenticity.
An assessment considers the composition, printing, board, measurements, signature, numbering, stamps and provenance together. Posters and reproductions of Dollar Signs are separate from the documented original screenprints.
What affects the value of a Warhol Dollar Signs Screenprint?
A useful valuation starts with the exact format and the particular impression. A small single-sign print, a large Quadrant and a nine-sign composition require different comparisons.
- Format and edition: catalogue reference, sheet size, edition number and any documented proof status.
- Color combination: the relationship between the symbols and background, the clarity of the layered printing and preservation of the colors.
- Printed surface: scuffs, scratches, rubbing, fading, ink losses and any retouching or restoration.
- Board and edges: creases, corner damage, stains, trimming, mounting adhesive and damage concealed by framing.
- Provenance and completeness: invoices, gallery labels, previous ownership records and, for a portfolio, the identity, numbering and condition of every sheet.
A lower edition number or an A.P. inscription does not automatically mean a higher value. We review the work as a whole. Read our Andy Warhol value guide for more about the assessment process.
How to sell your Andy Warhol Dollar Signs Screenprint
You can begin with a single sheet or a portfolio. Send the following through the valuation form:
- A clear front photograph. Show the whole composition in even lighting, without filters, and include the visible sheet edges.
- Close-ups of the markings. Include the signature, edition number, proof inscriptions, blindstamp and accessible stamps or labels on the reverse.
- Measurements and condition details. Distinguish sheet measurements from frame measurements and show any damage or restoration you know about.
- Ownership records. Share invoices, certificates or previous sale information. For a portfolio, send photographs of each sheet and any original packaging.
There is no need to unframe the work for the initial inquiry. Our gallery will review the information and discuss the next steps. If the work is suitable for our inventory, we can discuss a potential direct purchase offer. Further examination may be needed before an offer is confirmed. There is no obligation to sell.

Questions from Dollar Signs Screenprint owners
Can I sell one Screenprint from a Dollar Signs portfolio?
Yes. Individual sheets can be reviewed separately. You do not need a complete portfolio to make an inquiry. Send a photograph and any edition information you have.
Why does my Screenprint have different colors from the example online?
Dollar Signs editions include unique color variants, so a different palette may be consistent with the edition. Color alone cannot identify the work or confirm authenticity; the printing, markings and provenance also need review.
Is a unique Dollar Sign Screenprint the same as a painting?
No. A unique color screenprint on Lenox Museum Board remains a print. Warhol also made Dollar Sign paintings and drawings, which require separate identification. Tell us the support and medium if known.
Can you review a Screenprint without its original invoice?
Yes. We can begin with photographs and the history you know. Explain when and how you acquired the work and share any labels or records available. Further research or examination may be needed.
