Money in Art: From Coinage to Crypto. David Trigg’s introduction sets the scene with an historical overview of money in art, from ancient Greek pots and biblically inspired paintings to Dutch genre scenes and early 20th century Dada collages. He then examines a chronological selection of over 80 artworks by artists such as Andy Warhol, Jeremy Deller, Cornelia Parker, Grayson Perry and Damien Hirst to show how they have addressed the subject of money in their works. These include Roy Lichtenstein’s light-hearted reimagining of the US $10 bill (1956), Andy Warhol’s silkscreen painting 200 One Dollar Bills (1962), Joseph Beuys’ 1979 inscribed banknote Kunst=Kapital (Art=Capital) critiquing the capitalist system, the Guerrilla Girls’ Women in America Earn Only 2/3 of What Men Do (1985) exposing gender inequality, the K Foundation’s destruction of money in Burning a Million Quid (1994) and Michael Landy’s Credit Card Destroying Machine (2010) offering a form of liberation from the excesses of consumerism.
