Why Andy Warhol? 
Andy Warhol, a trailblazing figure in experimental art history, spearheaded the Pop Art movement by revolutionizing its commercial aspects in unprecedented ways. Amidst a backdrop of artistic rebellion against consumerism, Warhol uniquely fused avant-garde concepts with highly commercial techniques. Here are compelling reasons to consider investing in Warhol's art: 
 
Proven Profitability 
In 2022, Andy Warhol emerged as the most profitable artist, as reported by artnet, showcasing a track record of financial success. 
 
Steady Demand 
A substantial 56.5% of auctioned artworks by Warhol in 2022 exceeded or met their estimated values, indicating a robust and consistent demand for his pieces. 
 
Print Market Dominance 
Warhol's average print prices experienced a noteworthy 152% increase over the last five years, underscoring his significance as a quintessential artist in the print domain. 
 
Market Outlook 
Our confidence in the Warhol art market stems from its impressive performance over the past 25 years. Despite occasional volatility, the Warhol print market has consistently outperformed major indices. Notable instances of interruption, such as the 2006-2008 global boom and subsequent downturn and the 2021 post-COVID surge, were followed by recoveries and overall positive growth. In 2022, the market recorded a 9.6% increase, just shy of the 10.7% average return since 2000. 
 
Why the Dollar Sign? 
Unique Artistic Contribution 
The Dollar Sign series represents a distinctive departure for Warhol, as he personally created the source image for these works. This departure from his usual practice adds a unique and uncommon dimension to the series, making it a compelling and rare investment opportunity. 
 
Symbolic Significance 
The dollar sign is a universally recognized symbol of wealth and commerce. By focusing on this iconic symbol, Warhol taps into broader cultural themes related to money, consumer culture, and the pervasive influence of financial symbols in society. This symbolic depth enhances the potential cultural and historical value of the artworks. 
 
Continuation of Pop Art Aesthetic 
The series maintains Warhol's signature pop art style, characterized by bold colors, repetition, and the use of everyday symbols. This aesthetic not only aligns with Warhol's iconic body of work but also contributes to the broader narrative of pop art's impact on the art world.

The price of €120,000 includes the Splint Invest platform fee and external maintenance costs of €7,050. €112,950 can be allocated to the painting.
